This could be a regular event so send John your requests for future workshops!

The man, the legend, our very own 914 metal god...ok so he's a Karman Ghias deviant but we can consider it a close relative to the 914... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Thank you Tony of TC Design for hosting this workshop. Your shop is great.

With a few tools, learned techniques, and lot's of time and patience you can form metal to virtually any shape or part you want. Material is cheap and equipment is relatively inexpensive...

Preserve the craft! Start by buying John's DVD

Forgot to mention, only one 914 was present. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) The Lancia guys didn't even bring their cars... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

At least I brought two 914 fenders. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Great workshop, I'll take it again if I get the chance, so much to learn. I envy the guys who live near John that get to be his students for more than a few hours.

A lot of the good advice wasn't even about metalworking techniques directly. Things like, take your time, be patient, never assume your done.

I so much want to annoy my neighbors now with sounds of hammering. For now I'll have to look to Vol II of the DVD.

Thanks for making the trip, John and Carla. And thanks to Tony for providing refreshments.

It was great. Kelly's a good teacher. I'd always though an English wheel was just a nice to have toy, but it looked nearly indispensible for doing good work quickly.

Next time, the attendants need to throw in to have the host provide lunch. I brought the Krispy Kremes for breakfast (it starting at 9am), but around 1pm, everyone was rifling through nearly empty donut boxes desperate for lunch...

Ok, who want's to do a local group buy on an English Wheel? It's not like one person would need it all the time. Let's talk!

thanks for the KK James! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif)

Ballpark quote for one of these, anyone?
