| The Dallas Workshop was once again AWESOME. It seems to attract as many new sharpeners as experienced. This mix is the perfect recipe for some great discussions. The limited size of the Workshops, allows us to encourage open participation during the scheduled events. The result is a very relaxed atmosphere with absolutely no bad attitudes. One underlying theme at the Kuda Workshops is and always will be the importance of having an "open mind". Nothing is more pleasing to us then to look around the room during the Kuda "Hands On" segment and see sharpeners from all backgrounds and different sharpening machines, helping and sharing techniques with each other. We have been so pleased by the attendee's and their willingness to share as well as learn and we thank you for that! Besides the workshop, we offered advanced sharpening classes for convex & bevelled shears, thinners, & clipper blade sharpening. There were also classes for ride & set and clipper blade machine repair. The response was great. The classes were by appointment only for 2 hour sessions & no more then 3 persons per class. The classes were held both Saturday & Sunday. A special thanks to Caralee & Larry Dubabin from Shear Technology, Murray Roth from Flex 360 & Bonnie Megowan from Bonika Shears. Without their support and participation the Kuda workshop would not have been as successful. I want to also thank my Kuda staff Len DiCarro & Michele Pietrzak for all their help & patients organizing an incredible event. But my biggest thanks & gratitude is to all the sharpeners, new & old that attended our Kuda Workshop, sharing their expertise & sharpening stories. |
