<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Ansteorra-archery] Bow making
seminar update</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Friends and fellow archers,<BR> Looks like the bowmaking
seminar is a definite go, thanks for all the <BR>interest and positive feed
back. Location will be at Arcus Gilli and HL Darcy's, <BR>since they've got a
large workspace in "the hall", and an excellent archery <BR>range (complete
with permanent shade pavilion) on their property. Date/times TBA, <BR>but
we're getting closer to nailing that down. What I'd like to do is offer a
<BR>couple different possibilities, and see which one works best for the
majority <BR>of y'all. I'll have that info posted NLT tomorrow evening, so
y'all can start <BR>sounding off with your preference.<BR><BR> There was
some concern about "significant others", that might be <BR>accompanying y'all,
getting bored with all the whittlin' and cussin'. Trust me, that <BR>will not
be a problem. Gilli and Darcy have worked hard to equip the "Hall" with <BR>a
professional grade kitchen, where a whole gamut of domestic arts can, and
<BR>do, take place. I'm talking cheese making, candle making, soap making,
brewing, <BR>basket weaving, et cetera, et cetera. So non-bowyers and
non-archers will <BR>still find plenty to do. We may even go ahead and
schedule some classes in those <BR>areas, but I'm not going to let my jabber
jawing write checks that HL Darcy and <BR>her helpers will have to cash. So,
wait for us to coordinate and post a <BR>schedule.<BR><BR> So, what to
call this shindig? I'm a "keep it simple" kind of guy, so how
<BR>about;<BR>Bowyerthon '05 (catchy enough to go on a t-shirt
<grin>).<BR><BR> One last thing. To separate the serious from the
"mildly interested", I <BR>WILL NOT be providing tools or materials. There
will be tillering jigs, belt <BR>sander, etc., available for use, but you'll
need to bring your own bowstave, <BR>sandpaper, and whatever you plan to carve
your bow with. Don't Panic! I'll be <BR>posting a series of e-mails
detailing exactly what you need, where you can get it, <BR>how much it costs,
and ways to come up with inexpensive substitutes. If you <BR>want to go
fishing, you have to buy tackle, a license, and bait. There's not a <BR>guy
waiting down by the lake to hand you that stuff (I wish there were).
<BR>Same deal here. Fair enough? Of course, if you just want to come and
watch, you <BR>need bring nothing more than yourself and an appetite. Arcus
Gilli just loves <BR>feeding folks ;-)<BR><BR> More to come, cheers for
now,<BR> Robert of
