Hello, my name is dan

Anyone who has participated in a trade show as a vender understands just how long days working there can be. The international Sign Association show is massive with about a thousand venders and more than twenty thousand guests over the three day show. My job is to do a slide show presentation and talk about the many projects we do using our MultiCam CNC router. I do (almost) the same presentation time after time through the day, as well as answer endless questions about how we do our work. As a bonus so many people I have bumped into along my journey through the years drop by to say hi and catch up on things since our last visit.

Here's a shot of me doing a presentation. Fortunately I am miked up with an amplifier so I do not have to speak loudly over the din of the convention.

Occasionally through the day I get to sneak away and see a bit of the vast trade show. Along the way I stopped in at the Coastal Enterprises (Precision Board) to visit my friends and see the little truck we built for them on display.

Two long days are now behind us...  one more to go!

Having fun and calling it (serious) work

We are getting very excited about the upcoming workshops to be held in our shop starting mid April. Both workshops are booked full and we have a whole bunch of eager folks coming from literally around the world. A few are local, as per normal. Some are travelling across Canada to attend. Others are coming from Ohio, Oregon, New York, California, Texas, and Colorado. Some are travelling much further from far flung places like Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand.

It is our serious goal to exceed all expectations of all who come - no small task.

One of our tasks is to create a welcoming name plaque for each attendee - almost 30 plaques in all. Each one is uinique and is designed to showcase the skills we teach. When the workshop is done we ask them to sign onto our wall of fame and in return they get to take their name plaque home with them.

The name plaques are currently in full paint process, some already done. And they look fabulous. Bec is in charge of designing the color schemes and she takes the opportunity to be pretty creative - always trying new things. Here she is putting the final touches to Alan's name plaque. Alan is making the journey from New Zealand to attend both workshops.
