No worries, Ernie. It was always a long shot. Would've been fun, though...

.Sorry trev , perhaps there might be others who could possibly sponsor you for a N. america class??? I will be the first to sign up.

Thanks Ernie for the footwork you've done. I'll print the form out and mail it Monday.

Chuck and anyone else interested in signing up for the small shop production. You don/t have to fill out a form and mail it . Just send charles a quick e- mail telling him of your interest in taking the small production class. thanks

Got an email back today from Fox, he'll let me know when the next class will be.

I think only you and I signed on hutch. Soooo who knows .I don/t know if anyone else did?. If you have a question abt doing a luthiery operation , cheaper better , faster, easier let me know hutch. I will give you my 2 cents on it. I glued up 4 uke backs today took abt 1 minute max each with LN low angle jack plane osage is a tough wood. cheers ernie. PS after we get the class confirmation then we send our $200. in , but before that, I would really like to see the outline or what charles will be teaching for 5 days??

After looking over the various course offerings and considering my current level of accomplishment, I don't think I'm quite ready for Small Shop Production.

Thanks for generating this thread, Ernie, but I'm going to have to pass on this for now.

No worries thanks for your input George, to each his own .

Ernie, I've left my name also. Dead keen but subject to timing of course.

Thanks shane. I/m guessing charles fox wants at least 6 people interested in the class before he will commit to a date. Summer is the nicest time of the year in Portland. So far, including you shane, that makes 3 of us interested. Has anyone else out there contacted charles at the american school of lutherie??
