Well its less than a week away now. Seems like I have been waiting forever!

Just wondering , are all the spots filled?

I have my spot reserved, and I was wondering how many others will also be there. The price is great for what's being offered. It would be a shame for any spots to be left vacant.

Cheers

If any of you would like to travel an extra 40 minutes you are more than welcome to come here after or before the event. I will be here.

Can I ask how many people are bringing saw vises?

I have been trying to find the time to make one myself but time is not on my side.

If there will be enough there I wont make mine till I find some time after the course.

Cheers

Doug

I am in the same situation as Doug and will need to borrow a vise if possible.
