Mark your calendar for Monday June 11th and add an extra day to your travel schedule.
Ray Cover and I are planning an engraving gathering for the Monday after the Blade show.
This is an opportunity for those of us interested in engraving to get together outside of the hectic show setting and share techniques, and engraving ideas just each other's company. Ray and I will be doing a couple of seminars, approximately 1 and half hours each in duration. We are still in the kicking around ideas stage, but the ideas we think might be the most benefit would focus on scroll design parameters along with something on shop design and theory. Of course, we will entertain questions of any sort. Midday on Monday we will have a dinner on the grounds, with smoked chicken and numerous other edibles from the excellent cook on my place, disguised as my wife.
We will have several different benches set up with all types of engraving equipment for those who wish to experiment with various options. You are encouraged to bring your own equipment and set it up as well, so that we can do some hands on instruction with your own equipment in hand.
This is event will be held in Monteagle, Tennessee, and on site camping can be provided, or there are several hotels 3 miles away. Actually the party can really begin Sunday night, as we are only about 2 hours North of the Blade show, and you are welcome to come up as soon as the show is over.
That’s the first announcement, we will add more as things firm up
