Not sure if this is the right forum for this so please move if needed.

A few days ago I noticed a post by Richard King. "I am really looking forward to teaching another class. I will be retiring I think with-in 5 years."

That remark got my attention!

I have always wanted to attend a class and after talking with Richard I have decided to host a Spring 2015 class. In the last year I've had a number of friends pass away and that has really focused my attention on getting the important things done! Richard King's Scraping Class is on my important list

Richard has time for a class in late April / early May. It will be a 3 days class starting on a Friday and ending on Sunday. Richard has promised to cover machine rebuilding in addition to scraping. Richard will be bringing many hand and power scrapers so those of us with no tooling can use his for the class. I also have two mills that Richard can use to show us the art of machine inspection and troubleshooting.

I have space for about 10 people to work and can probably squeeze a few more in if needed. My shop is on our 25 acre farm located outside of Houston in the beautiful rolling hills of Whitehall Texas. Two reasonably priced hotels are about 15 minutes away and there are a number of nice Bed and Breakfasts in the area. I also have a large area where 3 RV's could be parked and hooked up to electricity.

From my shop the towns of College Station/ Bryan, Houston, Conroe and Brenham are all 40 minutes away. Austin is 2.5 hours and Dallas / Fort Worth is about 4.5 hours. College Station has a regional airport that is very easy to fly into ( I prefer it!) but Houston Intercontinental is also relatively close.

I will be the contact person for this class and will be happy to help in anyway. Please PM for my phone number and email address.
