Re: October 24-25/08 stone polishing class

Here are some testimonies from recent classes:

The weekend classes are described by Mr. Huligar as "A true “hands-on” experience. No seats. No stories. No sales pitch. Each student has the opportunity to perform multiple repairs, honing and the highly coveted art of top-polishing
Jo adds, “ For the counter top class the student also receives a complete set of tools to perform typical surface repairs.”

The addition of a floor restoration class seemed to be the logical next step for the rigorous weekend “boot camp”

“The class is described as a three day, 9 to 5, training session” former student Steve Patrick of Patrick Stone Restoration countertop-repair.com OH. laughs,” It’s more like you’re finished when you’ve completed the task successfully. Exactly as it is in the real world. There are no time limits to the class.”

Because of the many requests for Mr. Huligar to add the floor class, Jo finally relented and had his first” Hit the Floor” restoration class in May. It seems the class was a "hit”. Students from New Zealand, Ireland and Hawaii as well as from the mainland of the U.S. gathered to learn from the stone restoration expert. From the beginners to the seasoned professionals, the class had its impact.

Al Shulze of WeDoFloors.com Fl responded, “I can honestly say just learning Jo’s floor method, will cut my time in half. If you’re just starting out in the business Take the class and get a foundation it will save you a ton of money from buying unnecessary equipment and time on the job.”

Dave Wilson of Seam-MasterStoneCare.com CA. adds” Jo showed me how to push the limits with heat and popping a shine. It really opened me up to perfecting my floor process. I went to the class hoping to learn a few things and was not disappointed."

“Great class” said Paul Klees from Bonstone.com. “I received some valuable hands-on training with respect to surface polishing and repair techniques. It was amazing to see the use of different diamonds, pressure and the little amount of water needed to achieve a nice polish. I will definitely attend another class to brush up on my skills.”

Thank you Josveek Huligar for sharing your knowledge, techniques and passion for natural stone. I have been to many classes and seminars and I learned more from the NSRA class than all the others combined."
"Thank you Dave (TOPSHOP) for the use of your shop and all the tips you gave me.
It is obvious that the NSRA is truly dedicated to helping improve the stone industry.
Anyone who passes on this class is making a HUGE mistake.
Thank you to all involved. I will back the NSRA 100%"- Tim Scarlata of atlanticgranite.com Rochester NY

"I would like to also thank everybody that was involved. I think we all learned a ton, had a great time and made some good friends. This class is the one that will give you that little bit of extra confidence to take on jobs that you may not have in the past.
Take care all"- Tommy Cigno, Vail CO.

Ultimately, the “boot camp” is for those who have a real interest in learning the stone restoration trade or to advance their existing skills.From the art of restoring counter tops to floors , this class has it covered

Are you still holding floor restoration classes? If so, do you have any future dates set?

Re: October 24-25/08 stone polishing class

The pay now button is now working.
As for the floor class, if we have more that 3 people that wants the floor class we will install a floor and have a class. As of this time you are to only person that would like to take it. We always have the tools at hand to do the floor class just not a floor. we do not grind the same floor and it is imposable to learn on a flatten floor.

If any one else want a floor class speak up now and we will make it happen, it is that simple.

Shawn, Jo or Topshop should be on line w/in the next 2 hours and they'll post Airport and Hotel info. Little advice, make sure you take notes due to the abundant of info you'll be receiving crammed in 2 days.

Re: October 24-25/08 stone polishing class

here is the information that you need.

Airport
Bradley International Airport

Fairfield Inn & SuitesSM by Marriott® Hartford Manchester
121 Pavilions Dr

If you make the appointment with Alpha, I can take him over to NJ
I do not know if we can get Mike to come to the class but I may be able to twist the arm of paul a little.

This class will take place even if we have one student.
