Woodworking Class Question

[DWSmith]

Okay. I make end grain cutting boards. Everyone makes them. Maybe we can make them better?

I have been thinking about offering a 2 day hands-on class in the techniques of building good boards that I have come up with in the past 6 years of doing it full time. (I have made somewhere between 2000 and 2800 in that time.) This will be 2 full days, a Saturday and a Sunday, limited to 10 people, have all the supplies and material provided as well as lunch both days. Cost is expected to be about $150.00.

If anyone is interested contact me at boardsmith at triad.rr.com. The place will be at my shop in Thomasville.

Love to attend but Thomasville is a good 100 mile trip. Wish you were closer

I first found out about David on knifeforums.com, in the "In the kitchen" section where the guys are the most hard core knife enthusiasts to the extreme. Its not uncommon for these guys to spend more money on one knife than many of us have tied up in our shops! One thing common to them all, however, is that they hands-down consider Boardsmith boards to be the best. I've read reviews from people all over the world who are happy with his work, and I've NEVER seen even the slightest hint of anything negative.

The Lie Nielsen of cutting boards but with better prices.


Full disclosure: he did send me some cutting board oil and wax once when he found out I was an ECU student. That's some good stuff, too.

Sounds like something I would like to try, count me in..

 

[zapdafish]

Sounds interesting, depending on the weekend, I would be in.

 

[DWSmith]

Actually Ben was a customer while he was an engineering student at ECU. I added the extras since he was a student. Maybe one day he will design a house for me. LOL!

The weekend.....March 5 and 6.

David,
sounds great but how are the accommodations? Hopefully you also operate a B&B. Long trip from Mooresville two days in a row.

Accommodations? I am a woodworker not an innkeeper.:gar-La;

Mooresville to Thomasville is only about 1 1/4 hours. When I worked for Bosch, the trip from home to Mooresville was a weekly event.

 

[Guy in Paradise]

Interested this summer

Offer a class this summer and I will be there. Thanks for the offering.

 

[Mike Davis]

My daughter will be home that weekend, I really need to see her.

Maybe next time...

It is too far for me also, but I wanted to say that I appreciate you offering up this class.

I also want to be there! Worth the time for me.

 

[Dan Bowman]

I'd love to come but that's the weekend for the lumber run at Scott Smith's. I hope your class is a success so you'll consider offering it again. Thanks!

 

[meredj]

Do you have enough people signed up to hold your class? If you are not having it I plan on going down to Scotts' farm and see what zebra wood looks like

 

[eyekode]

Sounds like a great deal and a great time! Too bad I can't make it so far for 2 days .

[DWSmith]

Thanks for all the interest. I plan to hold the class on 4/23 and shorten it to one full day.

David,
I would like to take a one dayer and right now that date is good for me.

 

[bwat]
