Ya better hustle. Me and Mr B are getting old. It’s going to take me a week to recover.

I would highly recommend this class to anyone. Mike and Wayne’s knowledge and provided parts make this class a deal.

It’s fascinating to listen to them chat about KRA dvds after class as well. I am proud to say I am “Brooks-Estes Apprentice!”

Don, I will miss these afternoon jokes. The light hearted cracks always pulled me out of the 2 pm slump! Please keep in touch

Same here, Guy, the place is called Friendship for a reason. Contact me anytime.

I used the trigger filing jig that Wayne had and had to have one.  Spent this afternoon making one from some scrap metal.   Can’t get the pic to load

Already hard at work to replicate what we did in class with a blank I had ready to go at home!

Boy I wish class could have lasted another 5 days!

When posting group pictures, it's always nice to have names so we know who we're looking at.

Thanks for the correction.

Maybe I can get NCIS to run that picture thru facial recognition to find out the students' names.
Or, one of them could tell us.

  Ok I'm curious   what or why does it matter. They all had a good time. With two very gifted instructors.
  But my guess is Mike Brooks is setting an Stoner is taking the picture. Hope that helps...

It is always nice to put a name with a face for those that are on ALR.

We had three of the best instructors a student could wish for. We also all had the time of our lives both in and out of class. April can't come soon enough!
