Time off for the holiday
« on: December 03, 2014, 11:16:32 am »
With the holidays coming up I have some extra time off work. I am wondering if there is anyone in my area that wouldn't mind a beginner shadowing them for a day in the shop. I live in Petersburg, MI and wouldn't mind taking a drive to learn a thing or two. I know it is a busy time of the year but if anyone is local I would really appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks.

I'm in the opposite boat, just found out we'll be having less time off for Christmas. I'm all the way up in Bay City, and don't have a 'shop' plus, I don't really have a lot of experience. However, if you ever feel the urge i'd be happy to have you and share tips with one another.

Where is Petersburg ? I'm in Flushing, just West of Flint. Bob

Petersburg is south of Ann Arbor by maybe 15-20 minutes. Jackson thats a bummer. I was fortunate enough to find out I have 40+ hours I have to use by the end of the year or I lose them. So vacation here I come. Plus it helps take some of the stress off and I will enjoy the family time alot more.

Yeah, our equipment took a turn for the worst and we aren't getting production numbers. If we can turn it around we may be able to get a few of our days back. Are either of you guys in the MLA? I just joined up and am looking forward to some of the gatherings

Michigan Longbow Association - they put on the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational. I've been itching to go to it since I learned of it a couple years ago when I was still living in New York.
