Default I have a rule about "tweak class"....



if you come to my tweak class, my one rule is you pay for class.

Why do you ask.....


.... because once I have taught you the craft, I will never be able to sell you another base!

If you are down with that, come check me at the convention.

Default Thanks

Thanks Norbert,

However, I'll be in late Friday but maybe we can hook up for a few at some other time if you get any free time.

K-Lo...I don't buy many bases...typically just a few here and there to use to set a bar for own my own tweaking which I like to do, however, I'm still not very good so always looking learn.

I have not bought any from you so I still will want a couple of speed bases from you as I stated in my PM if you have a couple on hand.

I just thought it would be a great time to watch some of you masters tweak as I have only had the opportunity to see Joel P and Don Smith actually put a pair pliers on a prong, since I started last March...the rest has been kinda just "guess work" and folks that have helped over the phone, Geno, RD, Pratt.

I guess I was being selfish and wanting something for nothing as I probably wouldn't have the money to pay for a class. I was just remembering reading somewhere that Pratt used to give a "clinic" so I figured I'd ask.

Thanks anyway...I look forward to meeting everyone !!!!!!!

Default Understood

I understand, one of my goals is to always "pay it forward" and help those who help me and other new people like folks helped me.

I don't have much to offer, but sometimes I come up with something that helps others even it's my electronics/electrical knowledge for wiring motors or such or with their PC's...

These days working things in trade or old fashion bartering seems to be the ticket...

See ya there !!! Can't wait, ok back to painting
