Paul, Wishing you the best. I wish I were able to participate. Maybe in the future. I look forward to hearing how things go. I am sure the students will come away with a boat full (pun intended) of knowledge and memories.

Paul, you don't need me to wish you Good Luck…
You have your plan… and you are going to execute your plan…
All of your students will soak it up like a sponge and savor every bit of it!
They will be very Thankful to you for your expertise…
It will be a success that you will remember the rest of your life!
I wish I could be a fly on the wall during the process! :)

Are you going to have it Recorded? (somehow) :)

Do not worry about anything… Everything will be GREAT!

No sweat… Just enjoy it..

Thank you,
Joe

PS: 4 or 5 students?

Paul,

Pretty exciting stuff. Joe said it well. You have thought it through and prepared first class tools and equipment for your first students. You are a bright and knowledgeable guy. It will go great.

I think I said it before but think really basic until you get a feel for where each student is.

Best wishes on this new path sir!

Please keep us posted on your journey!

I really wish I lived closer, or I would be in there in a heartbeat. Have you thought of adding a webex? I would be interested if you were able to do a webex.

Well I wish you luck as well, Paul but it isn't luck that will get you through. It will be the dedication you've put into this and the planning and preparation. You know the craft that you're teaching (and, boy! You know that!), you know the equipment they'll be using because you built every one and, most importantly, you have such a desire to teach and pass on the skills that you have dedicated a huge chunk of your life to getting it right before you've even started your first class. That much drive and passion rubs off.

Luck is what the unprepared need. Luck is what gamblers need. In short: Luck is what fools need. You've got better than luck. Your students have a great learning environment, great equipment, great materials and you just have to start teaching to discover for sure that they also have a great teacher. We already know that because we know what we would need to learn a craft like yours… it's you.

Have a great day tomorrow.

Hey, Paul,
When I look at the photos of the empty shop standing at the ready, I can just picture the scene of what will soon take place there…a group of merry woodworkers and artisans busy learning a new skill. Wish I could be there!
Best wishes for a successful adventure!
