I met up with Jean and Les at the Hyatt. They were still going strong at 10 pm after a long day. Les was going to play golf with me but his back is out of comission. That left more skins for me!

They spent Saturday with a trip around the lake (72 mi.) and one of the most beautiful drives in the world. Let me know if anyone is planning to come up to the lake. I can set up a BBQ on the lake for Saturday if there is enough intrest. We can talk on Friday. See you at the workshop on Friday.

There is a list of topics on the page for the workshop at www.sfaworkshops.com but not a time table with events.

I am sure if you need to find out the day of the event you can call James' shop also listed on the page.

Workshops are traditionally run as people request they want to see specific things. They are informal with a basic outline. It is open for the attendees to request a topic they wish to learn, and then the others present (hosts and attendees) share their methods and techniques. It is intended to be 100 % participatory.

MArk, was there a particular subject that you were especially interested in? If so, ask James D when you first get there. I am sure it probably can be accommodated.

Yup or post it here and we will see if we can have it arranged.

Thanks for the responses. I'm cool with the topics:

Hand Fabbing.
Cnc Work.
Programming.
Seaming.
Laminating zero line .
Polishing.
Tricks of the trade on fab and install.

I'm particularly interested in "laminating zero line" as we're all 2cm here. Also we're a hand shop, I'd love to see a CNC in action and learn more about going digital. Of course learning some new tricks would be great.

I'm looking forward to the workshop and seeing everyone. What time is everyone showing up?

BTW I never did thank everyone for their kindness and putting up with all my stupid questions in Collinsville. Shout out to Ron, Justin and Todd to name a few.

See you tomorrow,

Turn out was really great today and awesome things learned.
If your close and can make it tomorrow, this is definitely a must see hands on workshop.
James and his crew own up to the name they wear of Perfection Connection.
Pics are up on Facebook page for Stone Fabricators Alliance and will try to post some here soon.
