You guys are going about it all wrong.

I just submitted a couple paragraph's explanation of Premal's event to the International Pipe Repairman's Guild to establish a professional connection, and they phoned back within 24 hours to say, "Looks legit. We gotcha. A limo will pick you up at your house, take you to the KC downtown airport to a Gulfstream for the jump, and another limo in Columbus will take you to the Hyatt Regency. You've been booked into the top-floor crown suite for as long as you like. The rooms have a specialty kitchen staff, masseuse, etc. Travel to and from Mr. Chheda's shop will also be by limo, of course. In addition, a grant of one million dollars US has been awarded for your personal use and to cover any incidental expenses. Have a nice trip"

I'm tellin' ya guys... the IPRG kicks ass. I can't believe there isn't a carver's equivalent.

Tyler, get on that shit. You're tapped into Big Oil these days, right?

That's rich George. My truck is black and it has back doors with windows that are tinted. Does that make it a limo? The only problem is I have to ride in the front seat.

If you need a ride while we are there, I will let you ride in the back. That way you'll get the feeling of a limo.

The Red Roof Inn looks good to me. I will see you there.

I wonder if they have a bar to hang out in?

Oh sweet. So you're covering all the carver's expenses then? Should be a drop in the bucket of your per diem.

I'm sure we can figure something out.

The only problem is that smoking of any kind is forbidden in all Columbus bars.

I cannot really blast forums with the event because of being a merchant, but that does not apply to people attending. Hint Hint...

I made posts on the two forums I hang out in, and a bunch of face book groups.

I have a lot of maybe's and reserves on the J. Alan Design tools. If you want to reserve any, please go to this link and checkout using the (pay by check option). It will help me tremendously to make sure I have enough stock for everyone before the show.

Premal, can the spoon bits be chucked in a drill press?

Yes, but you might as well use a spade bit or silver deming if you are drilling first. They are a lot less expensive.

I will turn on the camera in the workshop so you can "hang out" too!

I was hoping you would do that on Sunday. ...I could pop in and out while you guys work.
