visiting John
Peter; John and I live about 10 minutes apart and have known each other for about 40 years. When you made the comment that you would be in Surrey teaching a class and if time permitted you might be able to stop by and give him some tips, I immediately told John I would be there, invited or not. You really do know how to raise the excitement level in two "older" shapers. The unfortunate part is, we live about as far away from Surrey as the east coast of Australia is from the west coast. We have come to the realization that you probably won't be showing up. Without winning a lottery, this is probably as close to meeting you as we will get. Good thought tho'. And thanks for even offering. Shows the quality of man that you are. We need more men like you and some others on this site who are willing to share what they know so this "art" will live on.

surrey meet
Quote:
I met Peter a few months back when we decided to put on a meet. I didn't know Peter and his cigarettes were off to teach in the US, so unfortunately booked our meet for the weekend he was flying out He is certainly gifted but totally humble. You cant stop off at his workshop for five minutes ! We chat for hours and the enthusiasm he has for the craft is unbelievable. When you pick up a panel he has lying around, with-in minutes he is showing you how to make it. What I love is his methodical, logical approach. He has similar methods to David Gardiner, and they work beautifully Peter is a great teacher. there is no B.S. He simply explains how and probably more importantly, why, he approaches his work in a certain way, and the results are stunning If somehow you can drive, bus or fly to Surrey, do it. I promise you will not be disappointed Cheers John

Hi John and Barry,
The next best thing to actually attending one of Peter's classes would be his DVD'S. Peter is very good at showing how and why he approaches various metal shaping projects. Hands down the most complete set of DVD instructions I have yet to see.

I agree that Peter's and David's DVDs are are fantastically useful - if you do nothing else buy them!

John and Barry
Peter is giving a seminar in Detroit in a few weeks. That would be a lot closer to you then Surrey BC. Contact Craig at Dagger tools for more info.

Grey Dort Panel
Hi Guys: Thanks for the info, it helped a lot as this is the largest panel I've fabricated. I learn't a lot on this one. Here's a couple of pictures as I've just welded the panels together and now I'm down to the details.
