Budweiser? You expect to draw students serving Budweiser?
My school will serve Moose Drool, Trout Slayer and Fat Tire.
Wooden bottle openers will be the first project. Wooden cup holders will be the second.

thanks are you drunk nothing but the best mountaindue
Nah, I sobered up at about three this morning. I'm having a hard time believing anyone would use an anonymous name to promote a school. Also, as a teacher you'd inspire more confidence if you used punctuation and capital letters in complete sentences.But, English is my second language, is it yours as well?what you gonnna teachLee

I wish you the best of luck, Bud.Lee
this thread is just a perfect example of how the whole knots forum (plus other tauton ones included) never fails to disappoint.
too many a--holes, and too many people who think they have something pertinent to add concerning the thread, but do not or have no first hand experience with the subject.
just what did your posting have to contribute to this entire process LG?
Jquinn, You ask, "just what did your posting have to contribute to this entire process LG?"Well, I suggested to him that using a pseudonym, especially "budweiser" was not a great way to promote himself as a teacher. I asked him if English was his second language (Which would explain his poor grammar) and I asked him what he intended to teach. Recieving no response to my two questions I wished him the best of luck.You, on the other hand, called me an a-hole and addressed nothing to budweiser. And you think I'm the problem, huh? Happy New Year my delicate little flower. ## SMOOCH ##Lee (Resident Evil)
Lee, I too would find budweisers vague announcement, handle, and sloppy writing style somewhat less than enticing if I was an inexperienced woodworker looking for well thought out, thoughtfully delivered, and comprehensive training.
But what the hell would I know about it all anyway? I'm only an active furniture designer maker, and woodworking author that teaches the subject up to degree level at a college in England.
The resident 'Pugnacious Brit.' Well, if we're going to give ourselves punchy titles now, I can make up my own, ha, ha. Slainte.RJFurniture
You are wright ,my writing skills are well to say the least lacking.
Resident evil? What kind of name is that? Why would someone want to corespond with someone with a name like Resident Evil? SOunds to creepy to me. Maybe you will come and lop our heads off if you get to irritated, who knows. Budwieser is as fine a name as any. Although everyone at his school is probably going to be required to be pissed drunk all the time and that could have it's own legal issues.

I would suggest you change the side of the bed you get up on. Your current one seems to be a poor choice.
jquinn,"but do not or have no first hand experience with the subject."Wow! I can see you saying this to just about anyone else on this forum but Lee. It actually made me click on your name to see how long you have been here and how much you have contributed. You should talk about how someone has nothing to add. I suggest you go back to lurking and get a sense for who knows what around here. You obviously have "no first hand experience with the subject".TDF
I teach classes at a local Woodcraft store. A waiver form is the first order of business for every class. It is also proof that we had so many number of students so the boss man can cut us a check for the correct amount.
As far as the other guys go, I would hate to see this forum go the way that the WWing forum in Yahoo groups has gone. There is just way too much bickering on that site. Now, the old wwing machines forum is a different matter. That is a much better group. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

does anyone remember -" Carlsbad Elephant Ale"- Whew that stuff was wonderous to a sixteen year old..........."expectations are premeditated resentments"
Yes, I remember Elephant. I was on a camping trip and downed a six-pack one night. Killed a shrub later. Must have been the salsa.
"I cut this piece four times and it's still too short."
Thanks Lee i guss i will need more than luck, must improve on my writing skills. It looks like some are judging me on that , and my childhood nick name.Semper Fi
I do wish you luck, bud, but if you want to start teaching you have to sell yourself as someone who knows the material and can convey it in an entertaining and efficient way. Frankly, your messages did neither. I'm not saying it isn't in you but you first have to establish yourself as one with skills and knowledge. You can do this by writing articles about woodworking and or having a website showing your skills, by winning awards or getting some notoriety as a woodworker and teacher through other means. Secondly, you have to entice people to want to look at you and listen to you for hours and hours. To achieve this you have got to come across as literate and entertaining and you can't be butt ugly or poorly groomed, you need to lend an air of sophistication and reverence to this craft.So, dump the nickname. If you want notoriety start using your real name, and show us your stuff.Even the pugnacious Brit brushes his teeth and changes his clothes after a bender and before classes.You can take this all for whatever you think it's worth, I'm no career counselor. I can be a bit coarse but in the words of one of the great philosophers of our day, "I yam what I yam."Lee
I was looking for individuals who have the ability to teach woodworking.I did not say that i was that person.Semper Fi
Hey, I just sent a dining table out to Lloyd's Neck a few weeks ago and the client has damaged it through a terrible accident, apparently a scratch or gouge of some sort. Do you know any restoration specialists in the area familier with burn in sticks, grain painting and varnish retouch? I don't know the severity but I've asked for a picture. I need to find a top drawer local artist to put these clients in contact with.Lee
"I need to find a top drawer local artist to put these clients in contact with."
Lee, Lee, Lee!
"... in contact WITH"????? I'm shocked!!! After your well-written piece on grammar, I would have expected more!!!
"I need to find a top drawer local artist with whom to put these clients in contact."

Dang, I gotta watch that... Sgian and I were neck and neck on the teaching job in Scotland, neck and neck right up until I ended a sentence with a preposition..., my ship sunk right then and there.*sigh*Lee
"Dang, I gotta watch that... Sgian and I were neck and neck on the teaching job in Scotland, neck and neck right up until I ended a sentence with a preposition... "
Yeah, well -- then there's this:
Winston Churchill's secretary once ended a sentence with a preposition in a piece she was typing. When Winston saw it he explained the problem and then said: "This is something up with which I will not put".
So let it be written, so let it be done.

Food for Thought: The Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
As I heard the Churchhill/preposition story, the great man himself wrote a draft containing a sentence ending in a preposition. An editor changed it, and Winston fired back: "This is the sort of arrant nonsense up with which I will not put!" - thereby pointing out that the supposed rule is only a guideline, and should be ignored when sense and syntax are improved.
But, I haven't Googled it, I could be wrong ...
and, I'm STILL not sure if our original poster is seeking a teacher/school to teach him, or looking to hire a teacher to teach the public, in a school he'd like to start ... though I, like some others, thought the original post was offering his own services as a teacher.

I couldn't agree with you more. I've been eating rejection for breakfast for about 25 years without any sugar. When I read that entire thread from 1st post to last post last night, I was just laughing pretty well to myself, and thought I throw in a little humor. However, none of the posts brought a bigger smile to my face than the guy who thought Lee wasn't qualified to comment.
Time to get out to the shop. See ya.

I don't blame JQuinn for that, I'm a sporadic visitor here these days and I quit posting my website because people stopped calling me an underqualified a-hole..., I sincerely missed it. I don't post as much about woodworking as I used to. It's the topics like this one that usually catch my attention so if JQuinn is a new user here he probably knows nothing about me except that I'm a bit coarse, tactless and lovable.So, to Budweiser and JQuinn; I hope you guys stick around and get involved here, there is fun to be had and quite a lot of information most of which is good information here.And to Budweiser specifically, I don't pick on people for their typing or English skills unless they choose to bill themselves as teachers. I hold teachers of woodworking to a much higher standard than others.
Type any language you like but don't go away.Lee

"I was looking for individuals who have the ability to teach woodworking.I did not say that i was that person."
Let me jump into the fray as well.
Your first note indicated to me also that you were looking for students to teach. Your presentation was, to say the least, totally ineffective.
On the other hand, being so vague, why would anyone think you were looking for a school? If I were looking for a school, I'd start with the Yellow Book and also check for schools via the Internet.
Communication is a wonderful thing -- if one learns to do it correctly. Don't think for a minute in these days of "wham-bam, thank you m'am" chat rooms and e-mail dribble that writing correctly is a thing of the past. Perhaps the first class you should take is English grammar and writing.

Lee,
Now your just geting mushy....next you'll slip into poetic license...
Before you go into the abyss please explain: "sophistication and reverence"....does the Moose Drool go with the sophictication and the Fat Tire with the reverence...or vice versa...lol
PS. they are still making Steinways the old fashion way in Brooklyn..so there has to be some tallent in the area..maybe a call them will help
Edited 1/2/2005 12:55 pm ET by BG
Sophistication is using an opener on beer bottles instead of your teeth. Reverence is not spilling any.Yeah, yeah, yeah..., you know I have deep respect for this craft but I have fun too.The Steinway idea is a good one, actually, Long Island is a great place for this accident to have happened, there are plenty of qualified folks in that neck of the woods.Lee
If you yourself are not the teacher, then are you providing the financial backing to get this school going?
Not sure I follow your post, but I do like Budweiser(when it's hot).
Jack old boy, budweiser is awful, tasteless, flatulent gnat's piss, whether it's served cold, or even worse, served tepid or warmer. But then I'm a Brit used to real beer with alcohol and flavour, so what else would you expect? And I sampled plenty of US style 'hop pop' beers when I lived there to be able to tell the difference.
The rest of this post is not addressed at you.
Meanwhile, the problem that budweiser, the contributor, has is that his initial post didn't put forward any suggested courses that students might study. Nor did he (she?) lay out what his background or experience is that potential students might benefit from.
It was a one line statement that essentially said, "I'm thinking of running some woodworking courses. Call me at blah number." It didn't say much of anything. So why would anyone call the number?
If he'd said something like, I have some expertise along these lines-- see my portfolio of work at this link, or alternative source-- and I'd like to teach my techniques to students, it would have been more interesting. If he'd added that he had some experience of teaching and all that that involves, along with an idea of the planned course of study it would have helped.
None of that, and more was included in the initial post. If he'll come back, maybe weeks or months from now with a better thought out approach, then the reaction of old experienced hands in the furniture designer/maker/teaching game such as myself wouldn't be to raise our eyebrows with quite such surprise. Slainte.

May a team of run-away Clydesdales stampede your local pub to trample such Brit nonsense... On the way through, perhaps grab a few bottles of Guiness for good sport. Not to drink OF COURSE, but it substitutes well for changing motor oil in all those big "Bud" trucks with the oil shortage.
Guiness... Brilliant!!
ha.. ha... ha..ha..ha..
On a serious note, been picking up your articles in F & C and several of the other wood mags. Been showing up more regularly I see. Hope all is well with family, etc..
Better get back to the serious business at hand.... whatever it was.

Guinness....mmmm. A meal in a bottle. But I like Mackeson's better. Got something called Tadcaster that was pretty good too. Ever had an Old Peculiar? Maybe I like that one because I could relate to the name... Yes, I'm a beer slut. Have to say that bud is pretty low on my list tho.
Cheers!

I see the wine and cheese crowd here is obviously not fond of Budweiser,but why not?
Sometimes all I want is a cold club soda with a little kick of alcohol!
Q. What do canoeing and Budweiser have in common?
A. Both are close to water. hahahahahahaha
Jack,
I once did some work for a fellow who was a long-time Budweiser distributor. He told me about a trip many years ago that he and a number of distributors made to the company headquarters to see Mr. August Busch. The reason for their visit was to try and convince the old man of the need to shorten the aging process in the summer so as to get more beer to market when demand was at its highest. He said the old guy came up from behind his desk shouting that he would never compromise the quality of his beer, and they'd just have to wait til it was ready to sell. Hard to believe that he WANTED it to taste the way it does.
Regards,
Ray
hey Ray,
Well we all know what happened to Schlitz after they sped up the fermenting process- green beer, and ultimately out of business.Though I think they've been recently resurrected.
But my flavor of the month these days is Stella Artois from Belgium.
STELLA!!!!
Cheers,

Ah, Old Peculiar! That brings back memories. Or not. Same with Mackeson's Ale. Light(actual light, not light beer) has a hard time passing through a thin layer in the bottom of a glass.
"I cut this piece four times and it's still too short."
highfigh,
Ever tried the Blackened Voodoo beer from I think New Orleans? Or the one from colorado with the chili pepper in each bottle? Pete's Cave Creek beer or something similar.
Once saw a poem about a mouse who lived in a pub, getting a load of Guinness that was spilled on the floor, and roaring out "Bring on that G-D-ed cat". Wish I could remember it...
Cheers,
Ray
Sounds like the one where a guy went into a bar and every time he had a shot, he dumped another on in his pocket. After 5 or 6 shots, the bartender tried to cut him off, telling him he was too drunk to serve. The guy tells the bartender to shove his bar and a little mouse sticks his drunken head ouit of the pocket and shouts "and that goes for your Fargin' cat, too!"Or, a guy goes into a bar. Every time he has a shot, he pulls a picture out of his pocket, looks at it and puts it back in. Then he has another shot. After about 6 shots, the bartender asks him what he's doing with the picture. He says, "It's a picture of my wife. When she starts to look good, it's time to go home".No offense meant to anyone.
"I cut this piece four times and it's still too short."
Ray,
We used to sing this one in the States - don't remember hearing it in the UK, but my pub experiences were limited. ( hope to do better next time I visit)
Oh........ the liquor was spilled on the barroom floor
and the bar was closed up tight
when out of the corner came a little brown mouse
and sat in the pale moonlight.
Well........ he lapped up the liquor from the barroom floor
Then happily he sat
and all night lon long you could hear him roar
"Bring on the ### #### cat!"
Sarge's remark about The Budweiser horses and beer reminded me of the old story about the British National Spelling Champion who went to the World Spelling Championship in the U.S. only to lose on his first word. When he returned to his neighborhood pub, and was met by much abuse from his mates, he exclaimed, "Ow the ell was I to know those blokes spell 'oss pizz' h o s p i c e!"
oldfred
fred,
Yup, that's it, or pretty close, anyways.
Thanks,

Allright, would someone PLEASE call Sgian an a-hole! He's obviously drunk, feeling neglected and craving attention. He won't take it from me so would someone step up and call him a crass, tactless, boorish azzhole with absolutely no redeeming qualities other than saving drunks from killing themselves by drinking too much their alcohol and not leaving enough behind to pickle a frog?Anyone?Lee
You said a mouthful and this same sentiment probably makes the Brit tabloids daily. And he acts so nice and professional in all the articles in the mags. Another of his obvious ploys to sell.. sell.. sell for beer money.
I became suspicious when he once stated that he lined up with a Marlboro in his mouth on the rugby field to help keep his balance. Wouldn't surprise me if he wears a belly pack during games to keep his cronies on the side-lines from snitching the mother-lode of Guiness while he attempts to avoid staggering on the field.
Guiness... Brilliant!! ha.. ha...
Regards...
sarge..jt
p.s. I have a feeling we need to batten down the hatches as I have a gift for sensing "incoming" on the way. Wouldn't stray too far from a flak jacket as they have gotten over that accidental "tea incident" a couple hundred years ago. Proud member of the : "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)
Jings, Lee. Who else needs to say it but me? Okay, I'm a drunken tactless azzhole that knows nothing, and I have no redeeming qualities.
There. Happy now?
Meanwhile, as soon as I finish my beer and cornflakes followed up by a whiskey chaser I'll get off to work. Ha, ha. Slainte.RJFurniture
Alcohol content of many beers follows.
Because of the way alcohol is taxed in the UK, EXPORTED Guinness Stout has a higher alcoholic content than the stuff actually sold and consumed in the UK.
You will note that Guiness draught (on tap in the UK) has less alcohol than Budweiser.

Richard, once you read this you may want to move back to Houston:
Today, more than any other beer style, stout is defined by a single commercial brewer -- Guinness of Dublin, Ireland, and its signature dry stout. But Guinness came from humble beginnings when Arthur Guinness bought an abandoned brewery at St. James Gate in Dublin in 1759. Initially, Guinness was one of the first breweries in Ireland to brew a porter and by 1799 it had dispensed with brewing all other styles of beer in favor of becoming a porter specialist. But with the advent of black malt, Guinness proved willing to change with the times and began brewing stouts in the mid 1800s.
Contrary to its rich, opaque black character, Guinness is a rather light beer when it comes to calories and alcohol content. Guinness Draught weighs in at 4.2 percent alcohol by volume, which is slightly weaker than Budweiser at 4.7 percent. By contrast, the bottled version exported to the United States is stronger with an alcohol content of 6 percent by volume. Today, there are some 19 variations of Guinness Stout made in breweries around the world.
That'd be right Chas, they sell scotch here at a higher alcohol content than the stuff they can sell to Scotland.Just worth pointing out here that Fosters isn't drunk by many of the locals (not those under 45 in any case) - insipid and watery taste.But marketing definitely has put it's name on the map.Cheers,eddie
I have a hard time believing the post about the alchohol content of Guiness as poured in British pubs. When I lived over there, I definitely found the alchohol content in Guiness higher than the standard bitters. I learned that one evening as I matched pints with four or five of my buddies. I was the only one drinking Guiness and found the world swirling around my head much faster they did.
Hi Mark,...found the world swirling around my head much faster they did....I have the same problem, but I'm just a cheap drunk.Have a good day.Andrew
Doubtful, Charles.
There is the question of the gawd-awful miserable climate of Houston.
Then there's the bloody boredom of the flat featureless landscape.
Then there's-- did I mention the gawd-awful climate? That'd drive any sane person to drink.
Nah. I think I'll stay here in the UK where we have real seasons--four of them even, and I'll just drink an extra pint or two to make up for the apparent weakness of the beer, ha, ha-- ha, ha, ha. Slainte.RJFurniture

Budweiser,
Sorry I don't live near N.Y. I've looked at setting up a school here. Liability is an issue. I do have a couple of students that work with me on a part time basis. We have our own legal areement. It's not foolproof though.
Wish you well.
Your own private legal agreement won't be worth any thing if some gets hurt. If your not incorperated thats a mistake if you have employees.
You're right. I'm looking at incooperating or an LLC now. Thanks Ron.
If the mistake that contributes to an injury is yours personally, the corporate form of ownership may not be effective as a shield against liability. You might want to chat with a local attorney with experience in such matters.Alan

The only actions that would allow a plaintiff to pierce the corporate veil would be negligence, or criminal intent.
If your mistake were truly an accident, which we would hope never happens, you are protected from personal liability. That does not protect your company, or your insurer, from liability for the injury.Naturally, get a corporate attorney to answer specific questions, but do not begin without that personal protection or your personal financial assets will be available to the court should a lawsuit bring a judgement of liability against your school.

The corporate and the LLC organization provide the same liability protections, however, depending on several other factors, the tax ramifications will be completely different.If you are a sole owner, or a small partnership, you will benefit tremendously from the LLC organization as far as taxes go. You will also only be taxed once on earnings, since the company profits will dovetail (like the way I worked that in) with your personal return.
If you are a sole owner and you form a general corporation, unless it's an S corporation (which causes other tax issues), you will double tax yourself. A good CPA firm is worth their weight in gold. I recommend RSM McGladrey. They are top notch.

You guys are being totally unfair. I for one would like to sign up for the new school right away. Quod Erot Demonstratum.
Erot?What the heck is Erot? If I remember my highschool Latin what your looking for is Ergo (thus, therefore).Sorry, I know it's not polite to correct other folks grammer. Mea culpa.Tom
My bad. It's "quod erat demonstratum." Means "and thus demonstrated" and is typically used at the end of mathematical proofs.
The original poster signs his posts with the latin phrase "semper fi," so I wanted to keep up with the times.
Yea, I'd seen it several times as Q.E.D. and always assumed the "E" was ergo. I believe that using erat put the phrase in the past tense, "As has been demonstrated".So to butcher the lanquage a bit more, Mea cranium lignum est.Tom
People correcting other peoples casual english her was bad enough, for gods sake man please leave the casual latin alone......
Absit invidia (no offense intented)Actually, after 30+ years, casual latin is the best I can aspire to myself.Tom
