Will there be another jig class sign-up in the future?

It is our intentions to offer a series of E-Classes on Jigs and Fixtures based upon the out come of this special course. The short answer is yes there will be On Demand E-classes about the ins and outs of building J&F. Thanks for your inquiry, Rick

Are these episodes going to be printer friendly and/or downloadable to be placed in a file that can be accessed later?

Robert,

These episodes are kept on our server and with your paid account you are able to watch them on demand once a episode has been released to your account.

Thanks for the question, Robert.

To Ken and Keith:

Your right the best way for this to work for me is to make the lessons with Incremental Content distribution. Then sell the class and put it on auto pilot…but I fell that in the beginning I need to help the process by personally being involved with the classes. So with that there will be specific time constraints for the personal element of the class.

As for the lessons and assignments these will be accessible 24 hours 7 days a week. No time constraints…

Hope this has helped,

Rick

Great sounding project guys. However, being “time-challenged” how about just posting your program on the web and let the participants access it at their convenience-by subscription, of course. FWW, for example, gets a lot of viewing at some odd hours at my 3 computer locations, and I like being able to view it at whatever time I can spare – wherever I am.

Like many others who work daily to ensure that other’s SSI checks don’t bounce, I treasure what little time I do get in my shop and want it to be as productive as possible regardless of when that time occurs.

Thanks for your efforts…

As I read the post’s so many expressed my thoughts and position. I’m sure on your scale of contacts you would have no trouble filling a class, but many many of us cant devote the time and expense to do it on your time frame, I am retired but do some part time work at our church in maintenance and as such cant always dictate my time to be able to do a class at a particulate time. Like others I have enjoyed your TV shows over the years and wish I could still receive them(not on my channels anymore)
Best regards

I can understand James. This E-class is going demand some time and energy on the participants part. Plus of course cost of material to make the J&F built on the class concepts.
Just a quick note to update we have the first class filled actually over filled so we are thinking of running two classes with smaller numbers in each class.

This sounds like a great idea, Rick.

I wish I could participate.

It is not the money, its the time. I don’t get to spend as much time in the shed as I would like.

Every show I see from the router workshop, I find new ideas and tricks of the “trade”

I’m not on a fixed income yet, but maybe at any time I will be. I can understand no free rides. I’m a crude oil buyer here in Texas, and I wont pay sweet oil prices for sour oil.I really dont have time to do much wood working, and I’m not very good at it. I do enjoy it though, but not enough to pay a c note for what little information I do use.I really enjoy seeing other peoples projects and the different skill levels the wood workers have. Just a suggestion why not charge more as the skill levels increase and you might not scare people off or discourage people from advancing.Just a thought and thanks for being a wood worker. glen m.

Before I would be willing to commit, I would need more information about the content and extent of the class. With regard to your comment “Fixed Income”, unless you are self employed (like you) everyone is on a “Fixed Income”. I’m employed, but I can’t go to my employer and say give me more money.

I too used to enjoy your program on PBS, but it was canceled about a year ago.
