Joe,
Good to hear from you. My days at Trinidad are pretty much over.It is just too much for me, getting ready, making the trip, two weeks of class, getting back and putting all my stuff away. I greatly enjoyed my 14 years in Trinidad and all the friends I met there, like yourself. I do teach a one week class along the same lines in Grinnell Iowa in August. Drop by if you're in the area!

These classes are taught by the country's top craftsmen and we are lucky to have them freely share their decades of experience and knowledge !!! Both my wife and I will be attending classes this year.

Hi,
I am thinking signing up. I am not a gunsmith, but rather a hobbyist with a keen interest in double guns and a great appreciation for the people who built them. Would this class be appropriate for me?
Thanks,
Scott

Sounds lie it would be a perfect fit for you. I've taken this class 7-8 times and I'm planning on it again.

As an update: The College's web site is not very useful, so call them, 541 236 0513. But the College is closed now due to the virus, so all I can tell you is check with them later. I have spoken with them, and as far as is known now, the classes are on, but...

If they decided to do some sort of online video course, I bet there would be lots of interest
