  1. I've really enjoyed looking over some of your educational posts. Great site. If you decide to do any workshops that don't fall on a Sunday, or find you have time you'd like to fill with a 1 day instruction session, I would very much be interested.
    Rock on.

  2. Hi
    Thanks for great content and info. I wish I was able to attend a workshop but as I’m in Australia it would be a bit hard. Keep up the great videos and thanks for keeping the art of this important trade alive
