So, can anyone tell me when the schedule for this surfaces? I'm sure it's still under construction, but when can I expect it? I'm excited... I'm curious what the pre-conference workshops will be... any hints? Thanx *Kristina

Hi TG: From the TFG Web Site: Our next conference will take place at the Coeur d'Alene Resort, in Idaho April 17-20, 2008. I believe I'll be doing the Sketchup pre-con again, but nothing is official yet. Hope to see you there. CB.

Ya, I've already booked the time for the conference, so I'm going...I've got to throw some axes. Are you going to do another workshop on Japanese joinery? That's one that I wouldn't miss for the world!

HI TG: We are working on it. All of it tentative but lots of interesting stuff. Chris Koehn and Bob Pasquill will be doing a talk on the "Civilian Conservation Corps" and they are also working on a tour of nearby CCC buildings. We are trying to get Daiku (Clark) to do some more SketchUp, it was wildly popular at Montebello. We will be doing Japanese Carpentry but speakers and topics are not set. We will have some chainsaw topics including joinery. We expect to have a session on LEED certifications and maybe repeat the Net Zero Housing talk Frank Baker did last month. Curtis Milton's Math Primer got good marks and we might be able to talk him into another go. I am trying to get some interest stirred up for "An Itinerant Timber Framers Roundtable" with traveling carpenters and some of the shops that hire them. If you have any ideas this is a good place to post them or send them to me directly. David

Hi Dave, Try not to schedule this at the same time as the CAD Shoot Out. Might make a good evening session, meet in the Bar. Tom

Hello Derek Ed Shure taught a popular class at Roanoke "Aging is a Myth". It was body work, not yoga. We can see if he is interested in coming to CdA. What sort of rusty skills are you interested in? I think Curtis Milton will be working on rusty math skills. Boats? boats are very interesting to me and there is a good timber framing connection there, input from members about good presenters and topics is welcome. I would be happy to investigate.

I'm sensing that maybe you haven't been out in a while...
