Default Metal Shaping in the North Woods 2017

I will be hosting the North Woods Metalshaping meet again this year on October 5th, 6th and 7th at my shop in Cumberland, WI. Similar to last year, the focus will be on making and repairing panels using primarily hand tools.

Most everyone from last year has already signed up to attend again. Here's the current list that I have.

1. Pat Brubaker
2. Shawn O'Harrow
3. Dane West
4. Henry Votel
5. John Draxler Sr.
6. John Draxler Jr.
7. Jimi
8. Dale LaRue
9. Travis
10. Mark Klein
11. Brock Shimon
12. Dan Pate
13. Phil Dawson
14. Alan Anderson
15. Steve Rixen
16. Bill Funk

We probably have space for around 22 people in total.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Pat Brubaker will be here the weekend prior doing two separate classes.

Friday/Saturday (Sep 29/30) class will cover repairing and metal finishing damaged panels. You will go through the steps of repairing a heavily dented fender.

Sunday/Monday (Oct 1/2) class will cover basic panel forming with hand tools. This will be similar to last year's class but with a completely different project involving a more complex shape.

Pat's classes are $350 for two days and that includes lunch and all materials.

Default Hotel Info

For those needing a place to stay here are some hotel options.

Some friends of ours own a Bed & Breakfast. It is in an old church and they've done a nice job modernizing it. They are offering a special rate for this event of $75 per night. (Half their normal rate) They only have three rooms so they may fill up. For this rate they are not offering breakfast. However, they are catering breakfast for all of us on Friday and Saturday mornings (Oct. 6 & 7.) No online bookings at this rate however. Call Tia directly at 715-245-9044 (about 10 miles away.) (No more rooms available at the B&B, as of 8/14)

If they are full you can try Cumberland Inn & Suites. 715-822-5655 about $85 a night. (about 5 miles away.)

Rice Lake is about 20 miles away and has several options. Here are two, but you can Google others if you'd prefer.

Super 8 ~$70 715-234-6956
Microtel ~$80 715-736-2010

I also have some limited space for campers. If you'd like to camp please let me know what you are bringing and your power requirements.

Louie's Finer Meats is a terrific local meat market that has won many awards. None of the awards however, were for metalshaping so I'd better stop with that. I don't want the "Off-Topic" cops deleting my listing.
