I like to give a big thanks to everybody that came out. I think we had a total of eight new Kydex holster makers :-) My day started out on the bad side about 7 o'clock this morning I woke up with a pounding headache. I laid in bed till eight and finally got my lazy butt out of bed so I can finish getting everything together for the Kydex class in the garage. I set everything up to find out that my drill press had shorted out. It took me an hour to get it rewired and back working again.
I had two concern for the workshop. One was power issues trying to run three toaster ovens and three heat guns a drill press and two bench grinders. I thought for sure we would be blowing breakers every time but it ended up working out quite nicely
My second concern was weather. It was an absolutely beautiful day. The big garage door was open the whole time. I was really worried about 10 people in my little garage with the torpedo heater going on to keep us warm. Could have not ask for better weather. Hard to believe it was December 2 and 62° outside
Overall I think the workshop ran pretty smoothly. My other worry was that we're going to have bottlenecks when it came to the toaster oven and presses. I think we really only had a couple times that we had to wait a few minutes for someone to finish up with the press.
I like to thank Bushscrubber for coming all the way up from Indianapolis that was pretty cool. It would've been nice to have a few more Indy boys too come up with you but maybe next time or better yet host a kydex class down there and you maybe be able to convince me to come down there and help you out.
I like to say thank you to grovatron for bailing me out on my Kydex order mishap. His kydex was a big hit. sold quite a bit of that stuff. Also like to thank turnandshoot4 for let me borrow his toaster oven heat gun and press that was a big help to and thanks geronimojoe for bringing his toaster oven too.
Please remember these Northwest Indiana continuing education classes are all about paying it forward learn it and teach it. If anybody wants to host one of these Kydex workshops please do not hesitate to send me a PM I'd be happy to help you out.
I will be adding pics soon. I have over 150 to go threw.
