    Al Stirt Turning Class

    Hi Folks,

    Last year I did a week long turning class at the ACC in Smithville, TN with Judy Ditmer and had a great time. This year I am considering taking the class being given by Al Stirt from June 11-15. Does anyone have experience with Al's classes or demonstrations? The class he is teaching will be an intermediate/advanced class and I think I'm ready for that. Last year I drove back and forth to the center since it's only about an hour away but, this year I do plan to either stay at the center (they have nice cabin/apartments) or very close by. By the way, is anyone else considering this class?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I've seen a two day demo with Al Stirt. I would love to do a five day class with him. He's a nice guy and very knowledgeable.

    Al did a one day demo for us a while back and ten days would still not have been enough. Do it. He's a super nice guy, too.
