    Winter Workshop
    Starts: 9:00 am

    Location: 18202 Minnetonka Blvd, Wayzata, MN 55391, USA


    Description:

    The Dark Arts of Finish Detailing

    You won’t learn how to  build a boat but you might pick up a few tricks/hacks that will save the day when you bash the cap rail or slam into the dock or screw up the final coat of deck varnish.  Pull one or two of these tricks out of your how-to tool kit when needed and Bob’s your uncle!

    Proposed seminar items in the kit:

      Filling—patching/graving/Dutchmen/epoxy/shellac stick burn-ins
      Coloring—tinting of various vehicles with various tinting agents for various results
      Faux Methods—French polishing, faux graining
      Varnish—some of this but not the main focus of this outing
      Miscellaneous techniques as they arise in discussions associated with the above
     
    Jim’s Details:  53 years, cabinetwork, custom furniture, spot finishing, boat work including local/regional and travel domestic and international travel for interior yacht detailing (yes, the Mega Ones).

    I’ll have a couple of boats in the shop, video examples of previous work demonstrating the above techniques and definitely some hands-on demos.

    RSVP to John Vogel at mnbigjohn@aol.com or 612-594-6399 as we need to know how much coffee and donuts we'll need.
