Bangles, Rings and Things

This coming weekend Liesl is teaching a workshop out of her studio called 'Bangles, Rings and Things'.
The title says it all.  She has two students who will spend all day Saturday and Sunday making sterling silver jewelry.  Awesome''  I spent this past weekend making a bench/work station for the two students.  The carcase of the bench is made up of the 2" x 6" pine spruce boards I used for the bed project for the show.  I then covered the frame with a sheet of 3/4" plywood and covered it with a piece of 1/4" tempered Masonite.  When the Masonite gets to worn to use it can be removed and thrown away and a new piece screwed on.
The bench is screwed and bolted to the walls.  I attached a couple of strips of wood to the rafters above the bench and clamped a couple of work lights to it'

The European Invassion

                             

Awesome'
We're in Europe'
Jeff and I have great news about the show " The Garage with Steve Butler"
The record tv group is owner of many stations throughout Europe such as TV Europa, Sky TV and My Channel in England.
We signed a distribution agreement with the company and at the end of August the show will be broadcast in several European countries and territories such as the United Kingdom, Portugal, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Germany, Romania and France.
The Record TV group is seeking sponsorship for the show.  We still won't get a paycheck yet but this gives us great leverage for negotiating a deal here at home.  Basically it's like a newspaper and it's circulation.  The more readers you have then the better the chances are that companies will want to advertize with your paper.  Likewise for the show.'  The more viewers we have the better the odds are that we will get a company to sponser the show.
Please visit  http://www.tvmychannel.com/ and check us out in Europe' or you can go to http://www.thegaragewithstevebutler.com/ and watch an episode of the show in it's entirety.
