Just a question for some of the builders attending the ICRBE....which seminars are you targeting to attend this year?.....(I'm just curious based on the line up)

MJ

NERB that types with a bar of Ivory soap in his mouth.

The talks by the manufacturers on both Saturday and Sunday as to what is on the horizon blank material wise and rod/blank design wise.
A lecture or two from the Thread King Billy in full wizard regalia is essentia for us Non Nerbs folks.
Foam Core Grips clashes with Gary Loomis the one day and and i will somehow need to see that too but how can I miss the talk about Epoxies by Ralph O'Quinn?
Hydro painting sounds just off the wall enough that i need to see it.
So short answer is I don't know how to do it all.


However I plan it, my plan will go wrong, I WILL get side tracked, time will fly and it will still be good.

Being a blank builder junkie I'll be at the Gary Loomis and Jason Brunner seminars... The rest will be spent guarding the NERBS booth from rod rack knock overs..

Be filming Billys' dec wraps seminars. Which is an area that I'm just starting to understrand..Wish I could put colors together with more flair.
Just a thanks for getting the NERBS started. Bill

No filming is allowed. Sorry.

................

TOm, Bill is going ot help me during my seminars, since I move around and need the camera focused on different areas. I did this last year as well. Gotcha on the no videotaping other than for the screen in the room

That's fine then. No problem.

Tom,
are video cameras allowed throughout the displays?

Sure, you can video tape in the exhibit hall, just not in the seminar rooms. Thanks.

Thread was hijacked..............

no --- NERB'd

I'll share the soap with you

This is a hard question as there is never time for all the ones I would like to go to.

1. Foam core grips is a must for me.

2. Abalone inlays will be useful

3. Thread weaving is interesting to me

4. Using alternate materials should be interesting also

2008 I had eight or so seminars picked out and I only made to one. There is just so much to see and people to talk too. I`m not complaining though.

the abalone should be an eye opener even for builders who have done this before....Kevin has some new stuff that you won't believe until you see it for yourself

John, is that you doing the hydro paint seminar?

I'm a left coaster and can't make it this year, but would love to hear more post conference. About to have some seats done by the folks in the northwest.

it is how you can do the process yourself...there is an article in the latest rodmaker

I'll look for it. Thanks.

Getting back to the topic....

With the issues I have with thread finish, I think Ralph O'Quinn is a must see.

I omly wish I could attend them all
