Pete is right, the class was time well spent. John did an exceptional job of breaking all the topics down into simple subjects and offering clear, useful instructions on how to accomplish the task.
The basic concept was to start with several pieces of unfinished lumber and go through all the steps of turning them into an aircraft part.
Probably the best part of the class was the discussion... both during the class and afterward.
Here are a few shots I took over the two days...
Here is the class at the begining of the first day... from left to right
Pete, Shelly, Rob, Paul, and John Gaertner. I'm taking the photo
Rob routing the former that the class built... starting from unfinished lumber.

John taking freshly steamed capstrips from the steamer...
and quickly putting them into the capstrip buck...
