Wish I could go, but that's some serious dough for an unemployed bum like myself...:monkey:

Wow

Those are some big name carvers!

How'd you get Steve to look so serious for the photo? It'll be lots of fun with him running the show...

 

[ultimate buzz]

Ouch!

Grande Dog,You have a top of the line assembly of carvers, in particular the East Coasters of Jeff Samodusky, Ken Tynan and Dennis Beach,but for a minimum of $1800 dollars for a TWO DAY seminar,why in the world are you putting a disclaimer reading" We reserve the right to modify or change curriculum or teachers without notice"? For that kind of money, I would want a guarantee I would be getting the teachers that sparked my interest in the first place. -ken trapp

Howdy,
Those types of disclaimers are pretty common for an event like this so far down the road. Our intentions are to do what ever we can to make it happen the way we described or better. Realistically, we don't have much control. Say for instance one of the people you wanted to work with is a no show for some reason, we would certainly refund you.

Any update on the event?

Any update or news on this event?

Being out of work, it was just not in my cards, but I sure wish I could go to a carving workshop like this...

How'd the event turn out GD?

Howdy,
Here's a quick update for everyone: The Boot Camp was a great success. Great (and happy) students, great teachers, great staff and great weather. We had an incredibly positive atmosphere. To top it off, Peter Wiant, who produces many of the Chainsaw Carving DVDs we sell sent out a last minute press release and Good Day Sacramento came out for a live report. The first two links are the live reports. The third link was what they edited into a segment for the evening news.

GD,

Holy crapola, that's some excellent coverage on the event!!!!

Like I said, I really wish I could have gone, but it wasn't in my cards this time...

I did just pick up a couple carving bars on ebay, so hoping to do more carving in the future, and especially to incorporate into the log home I'm building.

I see you folks have the Oregon bars listed in the latest catalog, and I see that WP 10SC is on sale for $0.23/link.

Thanks for posting a follow-up, I hadn't realized you folks had such great coverage on the local news, I don't watch TV unless I happen to be in the room when my wife/kids are. :monkey:

Howdy,
Yes, we feel very fortunate to get that type coverage. We we're hoping for a better turn out but, the people that did come got some great one on one time with world class carvers.
