Furniture touchup and repair class?

[jeff...]

Was wondering if anyone would be interested in a free (as in free) furniture touchup and repair class? I was thinking a small class maybe 2- 4 folks, perhaps on a Saturday for 4 to 6 hours. I really feel it's a dying art and something that anyone can learn with enough pratice. I could supply the touch up materials, a few pieces of beat up furniture , a demostration overview and we could go to town. The best part is it would be FREE...

So... Jeff... just how much would this cost? :-D


I'd love to attend a repair class. Unfortunately, Saturdays are given to building. Great idea though. Even if students didn't start repairing stuff, they would have a better understanding of finishing.

Appreciatively,

Jeff,
I would love to attend your class! How far away are you from Kannapolis?
Thanks!

Was thinking I would have the class in Henderson NC, right off US1. I also got a call into the Mohawk sales rep to see if he can do anything as far as samples.

I'm in unless a conflict comes up. You are close enough to me it would be a short trip.

Depending on scheduling, I would love to learn more about this stuff and attend a class. Of course, I have heard that you get what you pay for...:rolf:

Would love to attend but the distance from WNC is too far. Good luck with the effort and let us know if Mohawk comes through w/any help. Maybe we can do something along these lines in WNC.

Jeff -

Put me down as a possible, depending on the date.

Have you seen this site: http://antiquerestorers.com/Articles/FURNITURE_ARTICLES.htm

Lots of neat information.

Ok spoke to the warehouse manager, he said NO and mumbled something about insurance and lacquer fumes. I don’t really recall exactly what he said, as it was at the end of the night and I had inhaled quite a bit of lacquer fumes myself.

The cats out of the bag, now ya’ll know why, I’m as nutty as I am.

Well … I may be a nut, but I’m screwed on the right bolt

Jeff,

Count me in. I have a 75+ year old dining table I would like to refinish. Maybe this class would help
