Workshop
We are pleased to announce a new workshop on making masts and spars. It will be held from Friday October 1 to Sunday October 3, 2010 in Baltimore, MD. The workshop, run by Dr. Greg Herbert and David Antscherl, will be a practical hands-on one. You will learn how to lay out a typical mid-18th century lower mast and yard at 1:48 scale, then cut and shape it. Each participant will have the opportunity to complete a mast and a spar during the workshop. Wood, materials and some tools will be supplied. Participants will receive an advance list of items to bring along. In addition participants are invited to submit ship modelling questions or problems they are encountering in their current projects. A portion of the Saturday afternoon session will be devoted to addressing these problems with demonstrations if feasable.
The workshop hours are designed to accomodate air travel. The Friday session starts at noon, Saturday session is 10-5 (with breaks) and Sunday from 12-3 or so. Group hotel rates and transportation to and from the workshop, located in a Woodcraft Store, will be provided.
In addition, we will have a special after-dinner digital presentation by guest speaker Major Grant Walker of the US Naval Academy Museum, Annapolis, on Saturday evening. Those of you who have attended previous workshops know their popularity and Major Walker's reputation. We recommend early registration, as space is limited.
The total cost of the workshop will be $250.00. The non-refundable registration fee portion of this is $125.00. A 10% discount is given to prior participants of our workshops. Contact Dr Greg Herbert at dvm27@comcast.net to register. We look forward to seeing you!
