Christian - THANK YOU!!!!!
This is a big thanks to Christian for starting these classes up. What a wonderful event. I learned so much and gained much needed confidence. There were 5 of us at the class - Mac, David, Tom, Sanjeev and myself. Tom was the cabinet pro and the rest of us were hobbiests. Brian and Steve as instructors were so patient with us and made this a truly enjoyable class. Shane stopped by several times to badger Brian and Steve!! Christian came in many times to watch and ask questions. Played Foosball with them. If you go - watch out for Brian as he plays take-no-prisoners!!!!! Minnie set everything up and organized the travel and meals. Something wrong with her though as she is so dang nice and happy!!!  ;D Stayed at the recommended hotel and Steve transported us both days.

Got to tour the warehouse and repair center. Interesting. Everything was spotless and organized. Well - it was until we all showed up and trashed the classroom. [big grin] We did get to see the CMS system that will hopefully arrive in NA as well as the vacuum clamp system. That vacuum clamp package is really interesting. Has so many possible uses. No idea if, when or how much it will cost though. Tried to ask about the Carvex but no info. We used quite a few of the tools and accessories. Benefit to me was getting to try out some items that I have been thinking of purchasing. Hopefully some of the other guys will post their experiences. Have to bug Mac as he took several videos and lots of photos to see if he got some worth posting here.

My one complaint-------  NO GERMAN BEER!!!!!!!!!!!  [big grin]

Go if you can. Highly recommended.

Thank you Peter, but I can't take credit for the classes.

This was a joint effort of Michael Williams, Steve Bace, Brian Sedgeley, Rick Bush, and Shane Holland. My only
contribution was that I didn't say "no"...

Glad you enjoyed the class, because we are enjoying them too.

Ah, those two know too well that they're the best at what they do.  Someone has to give them a hard time every so often.  [tongue]  We're very lucky to have a team of dedicated people who love what they do from the bottom to the top.  That's what makes this place remarkable.  Brian, Steve and Rick are guys that I work very closely with on a regular basis.  They are the closest thing I have to family up here in Indy.

I think I speak for all of us when I say that we genuinely enjoy the experience of having you guys in for training.

Shane - Your point was so obvious while I was there. Everyone seems to love their job. Truly feels like a wonderful place to be employed. I was going to ask Christian if I could work there for a while and just be paid in tools!! Summer intern?  [big grin] And Christian - - keep saying yes!!!!!!

Please pass on to all my thanks and heart felt appreciation for this opportunity to come visit.

For anyone wondering if these classes are worth your time and money, I drove 1700 miles round trip for this class and will be doing it again in April!!

I'm not that far from Vegas (Phoenix) so hopefully I'll be able to catch a cheap flight one of these days to make it for a class.  In the meantime I'm really missing the info/tips that were shared by those that attended some of the first few classes.  For those of you that are able to attend, please keep those of us in mind that either haven't been yet or won't really have a chance to go.

I bet Minnie knows his favorite flavors!!!! Good tip.
