Mr. King, it's good to see you on this forum. I wish I had known about your upcoming class in Texas earlier; I would have signed up. I just saw it mentioned at 'the other site' a week or so ago. Hopefully you'll be back in Texas next year and I can come take part.

Machining is something I've had a life-long interest in, but I'm just getting started at age 53. I've started doing some reading on rebuilding old machines and it has really caught my interest. I'm hoping that some day I'll have the skills and knowledge to save some of these great pieces of Americana from the scrappers and give them a chance to keep doing the jobs they were built for.

Enjoy your time in Texas. I look forward to learning more from you here, and possibly meeting you in the future.
 
Welcome back, Richard, and congratulations on retirement!

If you ever decide to come to Hawaii to teach a class, I will be there!
 
I am glad to have you back Rich, I miss your posts on better ways to restore machines. Tim

There is a fellow in Austin who is talking about doing something this fall.......I plan of posting that info on my website...or on here if I can...im still reading the rules....
 
Austin, Hhmmm, I’ll be watching for more details

I believe this is OK to tell you of I am reading this right. As a commercial account, Your rules state: "This allows you to describe your products on the forum, and answer questions about your products."

I have classes with openings:

February 16-20 Navasota TX at Steve Watkins shop - Private machine shop with "The Beast" a Rockford planner
March 12- 16 Rockford IL at Bourn & Koch Machine builders plant
April 25 - 30 Springfield VT at Gear Works - Host was an employee the Fellows company. One evening after class we get a private tour of The American Machine Museum in Windsor, VT
May 9 - 29 Oakland CA at private machine shop.

As stated above I have one coming up near Sacramento CA, but it is more then full. March 28 - April 2

If it's OK I can give details of my classes inside the forum but prefer to discuss $ off forum so I can keep track of things better. Plus hate to violate the rules. So how about asking me in private message and you can write or call me.

Ken or Administrator is this OK?
 
Holy crap! It's Richard King!
Whenever I see a name so well known, like the time I was browsing old material and came across Abom, it's like encountering a celebrity in our little machining world. I can't wait to absorb whatever knowledge you share. I'd love to take a class if you ever came to Toronto.
