Stone Fabriction Class

[Rob Z]

Well, I'm back in wonderfully less humid Virginia after my visit to Fred Hueston's Stone Fabrication class at his facility in Longwood, FLA. Florida is hot, humid, and rainy. And it's not even summer, yet.

The class was excellant. It was geared for those interested in the stone fabrication business, particularly those interested in opening/expanding a shop that does high volume kitchen counter production, mantles, vanity tops, etc.

I was there to learn about fabricating thresholds, seats, bullnose and trim pieces, soapdishes, etc. The techniques are the same as those used for big slabwork, and fortunately the tools are affordable for what I need to do.

If anyone has an interest in more specific info, let me know. Fred's website is http://www.ntc-stone.com.

Who has been keeping John on his toes the last few days?

John has been keeping John on his toes, thank you :-)

I hope you said hi to Fred for me. You remember he used to stop in at our old board once in a while. Haven't talked to him lately. I'll have to shoot him an email.

Well, now we can order all our pre-fab parts from your shop?

Oh, and the humidity. That's one of the things I forgot to tell you about the South. It grows on you.

You know when I lived up north, I always considered Virginia in the south, now that I live in south Florida it sure is north isn't it?

Rob,

welcome back and congratulations on taking the initiative to expand your knowledge and your business. It's great to see the true craftsman willing to invest in his future.
