Guys, we had two people back out of this class.  If anyone is still interested, please use the link in the original post to sign up.  Thanks!

I'm really grateful I had the opportunity to attend this class, it was an incredibly fun and informative two days. A big thanks to everyone at Festool, including Brian, Christian, Shane for being such gracious hosts and making us feel at home!

 

[DavidCBaker]

I'll second that.

I put a thread up with a bunch of pictures!

 

[Brice Burrell]

I'm glad you guys had a good time (although I'm not in the least bit surprised).  I hope Festool offers a few new classes so I have a good excuse to go out again. [big grin]

Brice, I'm confident this request will be answered.  I believe we will see a solid surface class before the end of the year in Vegas as well as some other new offerings.  I don't currently have any details to offer but I hope to have at least a few dates to post up in the very near future, probably for the Indianapolis location.

That will be nice.      Steve B. has so much experience at solid surface that It's sure to be great.

Yes, for those who don't know Steve Bace, he is our trainer at our Las Vegas training facility.  He was previously a certified instructor for the International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA).  So, he knows his stuff when it comes to solid surface.

It's too bad almost no one wants to go with a solid surface material for anything any more.

Used to sell the snot out of it, now not so much.

How about a cabinet class or door class, even the intro class in Las Vegas? Throw us west coasters a bone, please!

Greg, we are moving into a new training facility in Las Vegas in September. Because of the size and scope of the move, it makes it impossible to schedule end user training during that time period. I'm sure there are going to be additional events, but it will be closer to October-November time frame.

Thanks for the update Shane. Whish I never missed the class early this year.

 

[Mr. Jeff Smith]

+1 here for the next newbie class. 
Because the training site is moving, does that mean you will no longer have classes in Indiana?

Jeff, we currently have training facilities in Indianapolis (Lebanon, IN to be specific) and Las Vegas (Henderson).  The one in Vegas is just moving to a new building.  There will still be classes at both locations.

In the words of my nephew: "sweet".

Will the new location still be in Henderson?  I liked the short commute from the hotel to the training center.

Couple of miles from the Sunset Station.  So, about the same distance, just in a different direction.  Much bigger space, should make for a great location.

Bigger, cool!  The shop out there is already twice as big as the one in Lebanon, with even bigger space Steve should have plenty of room to set up a guest bedroom for me in there. [big grin]

I could not have said it better.  I learned so much in that couple of days and it was really great meeting everyone.  Thanks especially to Brian, who was incredibly knowledgeable and very patient with us while keeping us busy the whole time with hands on.  I'm looking forward to catching a cabinet or router class one of these days too.

What does your wife think about you sleeping with the tools?  [jawdrop]  [scared]  [drooling]  [big grin]

While a good question, I would have to think that she is used to that by now.  [big grin]
