Need input for Bussin' 2008 Seminars & Crafts

[JackConrad]

     Well, it getting to be time to finalize everything for Bussin' 2008. If anyone has any suggestions for seminar subjects or crafts for the ladies, please let me know. Or better yet, if you would like to conduct a seminar or craft let me know.  We are always looking for new seminar subjects and crafts.  Jack

Blacksmithing??                                    lol

[JackConrad]

Chaz,
   We try to keep the seminars bus conversion or travel related, but I think blacksmithing might be intertesting. Since I know no one more experienced at this art, are you volunteering to do a seminar? 
   We had a mig welding seminar several years ago the was followed by a chance to weld with a welding professional watching and teaching.  Several of the ladies were among those who tried their hand at welding.  Jack

Jack the way I see it blacksmithing is sorta conversion related. Ever had to fabricate something that was either cost prohibitive or unavailable of the local Walmart/Home Depot shelf? Also on another note, if a guy named smith is working under a bus, he'll be a "Black Smith" when he gets done and comes back out from under it! LOL!   BK

  Actually, I was just going to tell the ladies how to do it and let them go to town with it!!  lololol
  Actaully, I'd love to do a demo if you felt it was something worth while but I'm not too sure i can make it down. If I get the WVO part of my bus done (doesn't look too likely) I would be able to pull it off.
  Blacksmithing seems to be a much better "spectator sport".  But I love being a player!!
 
  Nuttin hotter'n a blacksmith!!

 "spectator sport". 
                                                                        2.5# (not as strong as I was)
 Hey to me nothing is more comforting than to take a 5# hammer beating a rhythm on cherry red metal while humming a gospel!
  OK so it maybe horseshoes but ya got to start somewhere...

[Chaz]

Right on Skip!!!!!!!!!!
 Yeah, I would consider it more of a "spectator sport". Not many people feel comfortable handling yellow hot steel and swinging a hammer. But I love it!!
  Oh, sorry, not into gospel....................... Heavy Metal!!!  LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

   Hammerin,
       Chaz

               Ok, back to what the original subject: Crafts for thr Ladies!!

[captain ron]

I can think of a lot of topics for seminars.
1. Polishing stainless
2. converting to WVO
3.Rebuilding an 8v92
4. Installing hydronic heat
5. Painting a bus
6. Putting graphics on a bus
7. Diagnosing and fixing electrical components

For the ladies
1. house cleaning in a bus
2. Quilt making (Uncle Ned's wife could teach)
3. Buying groceries for 1 person
4.Cooking for one person.
5. How to do the above without making a mess
6. Orginization 101

And the nice thing about all of these is I would volunteer my bus for each of these seminars

[Chaz]

That's what I've always liked about you Ron, always willing to donate!! lololol 
 But I'm with ya on ALL those topics!!!!!!!!! 

   Always willing to learn,
         Chaz

[JackConrad]

Great ideas!  Maybe I should have put more emphasis on the part about anyone interesed in doing a seminar or craft. Any takers? I talked to a man in Orlando about a DD seminar, am waiting to hear back from him.  I am also trrying to line up a road side fix seminar and a quiet generator seminar. we also try to always have an "computer type" seminar such as internet access while traveling, virus and spyware dangers, etc. I will see what I can do on some of the other subjects.
