In The Works: Dennis Manning tool making clinic for anyone interested. Here'a a letter about it:
Hello To All,
Due to the overwhelming positive response from the Dennis Manning tool clinic participants, M.E.F.A. would like to announce the possibility of a second tool clinic this year. The tool clinic will be the same as the first clinic, tong making. Ben Hupp has agreed to organize the clinic for us. It would be held at Bob Parks’ shop in Sugarcreek, OH. Dates will be decided as per Bob Parks’ preference. This can and will be a yearly clinic each group will decide what to do at the next tool clinic. Tentatively it will be sometime in October, two days, Friday and Saturday. There will need to be 16 attendees at a cost of $180-$190/person. If there are not 16 people the price can go up to accommodate those that would like to be involved with the tool clinic. As with the first clinic, first 16 to commit 100% and get Ben a check will have their spot reserved. If you missed the first one don’t wait it was one of the best learning clinics around. Ben’s phone numbers are (330) 343-0628 and (330) 340-3297 for more information. Don’t wait, call sooner than later!!!!! This message may self destruct in two weeks.
Thanks again,
The Clinic Crew
