Madison is only 4 hrs from MPLS.
James Olson is in the cities.

Hi Paul,

Yes, Jim is in Circle Pines a little ways out I suppose...I'm attending ground school in Minneapolis over the next little while and thought I might do a little visiting...wonder if Master, I mean Mister Olson would put up with me for an hour...

Cool! I was at Hoffman Guitars a couple years ago...he does some nice work and the tooling and jigs he's come up with are really cool! I think I'll aim for Jim too while I'm here...he's so far above and beyond the average small shop guy but I'm sure I can find something I can relate to there! Just looking at his guitars in progress would be awesome! Maybe I'll get the bug to own a Fadal too..., "Hey honey, can I take $40,000 outta our 401K? I got something I'd like to buy for the shop..."

Yep! Saw him out in the middle of a crowd years ago...can't even remember where now...he just sat and stared at a table while his entourage was having a great time...I'm glad I'm not famous....

Yes, I live in St. Paul (only about 5 min. from the airport). Drop me a PM if you'd like to get together while you're here.

Hi John,

Well, could be! I just got back in town from a quick roundtrip to Dublin...I have a little classwork to do and will see how it works out after....what's on the bench right now? I sure will be glad to get back to my shop and do something CONSTRUCTIVE!
