Starting this week I am on my marathon workathon to make and save money for my post surgery 6-8 weeks recovery time.   Each class is 2 days long and consists of you learing the simple and amplified methods of making custom pedestal backings.

Also in this class you will be able tro learn how to make small habitat rocks for fox, bobcat etc.  It's an all in one class and you can ask ANYBODY who has taken it, it is worth every penny.   You even stay at my house which covers your room and board and suppers Smiley   Total cost for this class is ONLY $300.

Contact me ASAP to make your reservations by PM'ing me or calling me direct 979-966-9853.


As I said, the dates are July 22nd thru July 31st and are 2 days each broken into 3 classes.


Call or PM now, you will not regret it!

Hey I was in and out of his shop during one of his classes and I can tell you what, he does what he says hes going to do. Teach you to make some easy money for minimum work. He gives you a recipe that wont crack and looks good, but also has many options. I cant imagine a reason not to go do this class, especially for the money. I just hope Mike doesnt ask me to clean his shop again though... Wink

Just got home from one of Michael P.'s Pedestal Backing class and I am very very satisfied with the overall experience.  Michael is top notch and has no problems bending over backwards to make the class very enjoyable..  The custom rocks and pedestal backings we did were top notch and I hope Michael can get some pictures up on here for you all to see.  Pretty much worked daylight to dark everyday with a break for some fine Mexican food followed by excellent Steak and Fajitas at Michael's house.  Anybody thinking they should attend this class needs to just do it.  I guarantee anyone it will be everything they need and more.  Thanks for all you did for us Michael and I look forward to seeing you again sometime in the future.  Todd

I do wish I had the extra money for this class Mikey!  But with Gatorpalooza (hoping to see you if your doc's ok with it) and the Mega-seminar, I'm lucky Steve hasn't thrown my stuff out on the porch;)
But in all seriousness- If you made like 12 dvds if this class & charged $25 a pop, we'd probably fight over them and it would be like an extra person attending as far as money goes for you- for just the cost of the discs and a bribed person to tape you.  I'd be first in line to buy- my daughter would ablolutely LOVE to mess with this kind of thing too- this will be her senior year in high school & the artistic end of what goes out of the shop is the only part she will have anything to do with.
Would you consider it?  I know $25 should be easy to get, and even just a dozen is as good as a student without the whining and feeding!

Todd.....wtf happened to my alarm this miorning?!   I've been thinking bout ya ll day HOPING you made it to the airport OK.   You and Mike were a blast to have in my studio and home and are welcome ANY TIME!!


Anybody wanting to come, there is still time and these ARE THE LAST ONES!   $300 gets you 2 days hands on training, a place to sleep and free supper.   All supplies are included except for the 2 deer forms you will bring and then take home to make your money spent on the class back.

Classes are tomorrow and Tuesday and then Thursday and Friday.   If you are in Texas give me a call and head into La Grange the evening before or the morning of.  If you are out of town I can and will pick you up at the Austin airport Wednesday afternoon and take you back Saturday morning.


Give me a call or PM   979-966-9853


Here are some pics of what Mike and Todd did Friday and Saturday.

 I had a great time taking Mike's class.  It was a great deal of fun and the hospitality was great.  Mike is a hard worker, good teacher and is talented at this.  Thanks Mike for having this class and I hope that others will take you up on this.  It is worth it.  I had a blast with you and Todd.

No Worries Michael Alarm on phone went off I popped right up and I didn't want to wake you or Mike up So I slipped out gracefully.  I looked around for a minute for a piece of paper and pen to leave you a note but I couldn't find any.  Thanks for having me and all the hospitality.  If you ever get to WV look me up you are welcome anytime.  That goes for the other Mike as well.... Hope your surgery and recovery goes well.  If you need a hand getting caught up this fall Let me know and I will see if maybe I can manage another trip to Texas.  Those fajitas leave a lasting impression...  Best of luck with the other classes coming in....
