Popular Post Mick S Posted April 14, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 What a great weekend with Darrell and his wife, Terry. The workshop could not have gone any better! One of the reasons I wanted to have Darrell do this seminar was because of his extensive use of CNC as a tool in his everyday workflow. Here's his Tercet table with custom CNC cut clamping cauls. He went into great detail about how much easier it is now for him to clamp up a piece with very odd angles by making these custom cauls to fit the angles, with detents in the cauls for precisely placing the clamp jaws in alignment. Everything lines up perfectly with very few to no gaps requiring adjustment. Great use of the technology! And this is how deep the sawdust was in his shop when he forgot to empty his collector. We had a few more people than the class is designed to hold, but we managed. It was a full house. My buddy Carl eyeing some of the ebony plugs Darrell is cutting. He won't notice them missing, right? Meanwhile, back in Denver is my brother (who was supposed to attend the Darrell Peart seminar!) waiting patiently for his signed copy by some guy hawking his book. But that's okay. I got my own signed copy! I'll get some of the video processed and posted a little later. Darrell is a great instructor. If you ever have the opportunity to take one of his classes or attend a workshop, do it. Very personable, completely unpretentious and happy to answer any questions you have. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 With the exception of the inevitable gray sneaking in, Darrell is ageless. His enthusiasm for the craft and his favored styles are unwavering and contagious. Looks like a great time was had by all, including the instructor ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Agreed. He’s a bit like the Energizer Bunny - just keeps going as long as you want! We had a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
