On Monday morning, when I arrive at the school, I will tack a little sign on machine room door. It is handwritten on a thin piece of plywood about the size of a postcard. It reads, "Its getting to be that time, please rush slowly". It is the very same sign that Jim tacked to the machine room door when I was in school in the final month of the program.

The students and I are busy preparing our pieces for our third annual Student, Alumni & Faculty Show which takes place one month from today in our Gallery and Gallery Five located just across the courtyard. If you would like to attend and need accommodation try one of our local Bed & Breakfasts. Thinking of taking a program at Inside Passage School of Fine Woodworking? Don't miss this opportunity to visit the school and meet our students, alumni and faculty. Graduation weekend concludes on the Saturday evening with our Graduation Dinner & Ceremonies at the Gumboot Cafe. Any alumni wishing to attend should contact Yvonne by e-mail or call the school at 1.877.943.9663.

That concludes this publication of Benchroom this Week. The sun is shining and I am heading out to the garden. Enjoy your weekend, we will be back again next Saturday with more pictures and run on sentences.

Warmest Well Wishes,
Robert
