Landing Net Building Classes and Education Events.

I demonstrate landing net building and construction methods at a variety of fly shows and locations.   My classes are designed so that all students complete a landing net during the class. The class will cover design, wood selection, wood bending, gluing and machining as well as finishing. I will be conducting a class at  Marc Adams School of Woodworking in 2020.  I also have small group and individual classes at my home shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Classes run $500/student in group classes, individual instruction at $400/day. My minimum class is 2 days. Timing and information covered is flexible.  Please contact me to schedule.
