I leave for England Saturday to teach two classes for the New English Workshop at Warwickshire College, but before that English experience, I have to tend to another.
Today I started roughing out the parts for two more Roorkee chairs in sapele that will incorporate some interesting details. One of the details will be this little piece of brass awesomeness.
If life doesn’t go off the rails I hope to get the legs turned tomorrow.
While in England, I’ll mostly be teaching and sleeping. I’m teaching two tool chest classes, which are about as grueling to teach as they are to take. But I am going to get to meet David Savage on Tuesday, which I am greatly looking forward to.
And I know some of the students in the class, so I’m packing extra ibuprofen for the inevitable hangover(s).
This is my first teaching assignment in England, and I hope it’s not my last. The Germans didn’t seem to mind my occasional nudity. I wonder if how the Brits will?
Better yet, perhaps I should pack one of my wife’s dresses….

Yes, this must happen.
Looking forward to seeing you on Monday for the ATC course, Chris! This is a project that’s been on my to-do list for 3 years, so very excited to finally set to it.
All being well I also should have a 4 pack of very good British microbrewery beer for you to sample (after we’ve set down our tools for the day).

Make sure you save time to the see the dead parrot.
The parrot is simply pining for the fjords! Or perhaps stunned.
