We would like to extend another invitation to end users to attend a new training event.  Below, you will find details about that event.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

Course Description:
We are calling for entries for a 2-day class focused on the onsite construction and installation of cabinets utilizing the Festool System.    The class will take place at our training facility in Henderson, NV, and will be primarily geared towards professional applications.

In this class, we will cover the tools and techniques necessary to build and install shop-quality cabinetry onsite.  Though participants will walk away with a range of broadly applicable skills, the class will concentrate primarily on the construction of a 32mm frameless upper cabinet and a traditional face-frame base cabinet.  From raw material to finished boxes ready for finish, you will learn how to work faster, easier, and smarter with the Festool System.

Since most of the two days will be spent in the shop, actually using the tools, we request that registrants have some previous knowledge of the Festool System, and/or the basics of trim carpentry or cabinet construction. 

Though we hope to add classes geared toward novices in the future, this should be considered an intermediate to expert-level class.

I will be posting the sign-up info for the solid surface class shortly. I just need to confirm some details before I do that. Expect to see it in the next hour or so.
 
Just a note on the sign-up -

The "Thanks for registering" page at the end still specifies a $100. fee, although the fee is stated earlier as $150.

Thanks, Craig. Just to clarify, the price is $150. I'll get that fixed.
 
This class is now full. You can still submit your information if you're interested in attending. Occasionally, we have someone drop out of the class and need an alternate.

For those who made it into the class, you will be contacted in the next day or two with more details.

Thanks to everyone for your interest in the class.
 
I had to go to Butte for a week and missed the sign up for this.  I even had a free house to stay in.
 
Shane could you keep me in mind for "all types" of training can travel to either location at any time.
I'm a newbie with little experience. Already have the TS55, MFT3, Parallel guides and the extensions, next thing on my list is the Domino and the C12 drill.

thanks

Shane,
        I live up in AK and will be able to take a trip sometime before construction season starts maybe in late feb or march. will there be any classes in that time frame?
 
The time now being about 2:30pm on 31 January, the Cabinet Construction class in Henderson should be well into the after lunch push.

Here are best wishes to Steve Bace and all those participating. Have a marvelous dinner tonight and a great second day on Tuesday!
