mikesmith648 Report post Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Might be taking an assignment in Sheridan, WY and wondering if anyone would help with being a mentor / teacher while I am there? I am so excited just to get there and hope to gather more expertise while I am there on my days off. If all works out I will be there for 6 weeks starting Aug 6th.

RWB Report post Posted June 28, 2012 Clint Fay does lessons last time I checked. I no longer have his phone number but the guys down at Kings Saddlery probably would. Clint is a great stamper and teacher, he helped write the Sheridan style carving book: My link Don Butler at the Custom Cowboy Shop might be willing to help you out. The store is pretty much closed anymore but if you catch him down there he might let you in to talk and ask questions. You might ask at Kings to they would know. Ask Jim Jackson, their head stamper, does incredible work. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted June 28, 2012 Chan Geer lives in Sheridan, best teacher ever. I am not sure if he does any local classes though, contact him and see what he says. Aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikesmith648 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 OMG!!!! I just got off the phone with CHAN GEER!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to compare schedules and set up some private tutoring while I am in Sheridan...............I am so excited! I think I do decent tooling, but to be able to learn from a master will definitely help improve everything and make my work so much better.......... Mike P.S. thanks for the tip Electrathon.........
