It will be live online and you can participate and ask questions. For those who can't catch it or don't have a Google account (get one!), it will also be uploaded and available on my YouTube channel shortly afterwards.

Hi Mike,
The time difference is a problem for me. Can you post when it's on the day before. I'll have to see what I get from youtube and get a google account.

A few hiccups getting it going but overall a good first try. I had it set for unlimited viewing but it kept limiting out after 15 people got in. Sorry to those who got bumped.

Having a webcam w/mic helps but the chat works too.

It will be up on YouTube as soon as I edit out the cursing from the startup. :-p

I can't belive I missed it :( I was sure will be today :(

Mike,
That is FANTASTIC!!! What a way to share information as well as to expose your business/product to the public. Kevin, Hint-Hint!!! An Abalone workshop would be fantastic!!!!!

Thanks a bunch, Mike!!! I would encourage everyone to check out the YouTube video of the seminar. It's an hour and yen minutes of great information.

If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!!

AWESOME!!!

Mike, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge on CF grips. One question, I didn't see you clean the paint mixer on the drill. Is that a one time use?

I didn't get to watch it live, but I was able to watch it on youtube. It answered many questions for me. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

Hello Mike.

A very good first try, the next time you do one I feel certain it will be out of this world!

Thanks for all the work and instruction you impart in the field of composites and composite accessories.

Keep up the good work!

The mixers clean up easy with a utility knife. Just let the foam harden first. I've used them over hundreds of times

Thanks for the kind words fella's. I'm looking forward to producing individual segments (3-5 minutes) with better close-ups and all the info I missed by just running my mouth for an hour.

Mike,

Thankyou so much for the vid just watched it twice and it has help me out a lot so much so that i put an order in for a lathe straight after. Ill definatley be getting one of your molds.

One question for you how much do you allow for the skin when cutting your seat recesses, i guess im asking how much does the skin and epoxy add to the foam core diametre.

Thanks again for doing such a great job, these type of seminars are the future in education.

Cheers

Really Mike, for a live demo that was pretty darn good! You really had things pretty well set up. I've made a couple dozen grips already and I learned some new tricks.

Even though you sell the items needed, it was very generous to share your techniques. I'm betting it gave a few guys the courage to give it a shot.

Glad you told us to leave the foam connected for split grips. Saves us some hassles and lets us produce quality items. Great Job!
