Jim,

I will plan on making the trip to South Carolina for your event. Last year a family event got in the way, I will try my best to keep March 25th and 26th open. I will contact you offline about setting up a booth this year, we have some things to share that some may find interesting
.

[Bruce Dillingham]

I am interested in attending. Thanks

[Dan Hintz]

Aw, man... SC? I don't have that kind of free time for a trip. How about something in VA or MD?

[Joey Jarrard]

Dan if you take out a few more walls we could have it at your place.

[Keith Outten]

Dan,

We may host a two day event this year in October in my workshop here in Virginia.
Stay Tuned.........

Joey,

The stud walls don't have drywall on them, so that's almost the same, right?

I'm working with a friend (local woodworker) to create a custom cabinet for the Stinger. The shop is starting to shape up, but the recent death of my laser and the snow storms put a kink in my plans again



Keith,

That would be perfect... I'm debating between multiple 2.5D/3D packages, so seeing Aspire used by a skilled hand will be very helpful. At some point I need to get my 3D laser scanner installed (I may offer it as a company service, haven't decided yet).

[Belinda Barfield]

Put me down for 3. Can't wait!!!

[james mcgrew]

ahh friends from savannah!! been working at Winn hospital on Ft stewart, finished now wish i had founf time to stop in!!

[Belinda Barfield]

Jim, put me down for 1 more - total of 4. Thanks!

[james mcgrew]

all is going well and it looks like micheal t of carve buddywill present as well, i am going to finish the agenda soon (still drawing plans at work) basically the bottom line is this, all presentations on friday will be about machines files bits nesting business etc. on saturday we will devote the entire day to aspire with james booth, tim merril and micheal on all topics aspire/vectric.

james has asked that we post some topics you would like to cover so the speakers can be prepared and comprehensive. this was his request!!

" I am pretty excited about the meeting and what we are going to be able to cover – again please encourage people with Aspire questions to post things they would like to go through on the forum."

this has shaped up to be a good camp so let us know how we can make it better for all,

Hi Jim,

Count me in, just a suggestion but could we cover some 4th axis work, for example design, and toolpath strategy.
