Thread: Box Making Classes

Well done DIY Dan,

Pity its a 10 hour drive (each way)
AlexS has been really helpful with the questions I've asked.
Hope you get a full house.
Regards,
Noel

Love to join. As long as I can get air fare.

ICN,

Bill

Having seen some of Alex's work here, I'd love to do this, but alas that week is already booked. Good luck with it.

Totally agree with you Poppa.

AlexS' work is beautiful, both in design and the quality of work.

Dan, I hope the week works out for you, Alex and the lucky attendees and we get to see some pictures

cheers
Wendy

We have a few vacancies left so get in quick, or pass the news on to a friend.

Hi DIYDAN,

Will this course be a regular or run again in the future? I would love to attend but it would probably be a lot more beneficial to me once I have purchased a bandsaw.

I think these short courses/seminars are great. I attended a Richard Vaughn router class (1 day) and learnt a great deal.

Cheers,
Nathan.

Thanks DIYDAN,

Will you be listing the courses on your website? I will get along to one within a month or two.

Ahhh yes they are. I just checked using Internet Explorer, the links don't show up on Mozilla.

Thanks mate.
