Windsor chair class w/Jim Rendi - any experiences?

Scott in Douglassville, PA

>Hey, everyone -

I'm contemplating a Windsor chair class with Jim Rendi, and was wondering if anyone's had experience with him. He's about four miles from my house, which makes him more than convenient; the fee is a sizable chunk for us, though, and I was hoping someone could comment on the content and technique covered in his classes.

Anyone?

>Hi Scott,

I took a hand tool class with him about 7 years ago. He was very good and very easy going. I haven't taken a Windsor class with him but if my class was any indication of quality, I'd say go for it.

I took a Windsor chair class with Jim about 8 years ago and thought it to be excellent. Jim wrote a book (now out of print, I think) but worth it if you can find one (he may have copies). Ask about class size. When I took the class there were just 3 of us - a great student:teacher ratio.
