Interest Check: Full day carpentry workshop in Bangalore

Looks like my last post has created some confusion. Could you guys indicate if you are interested in another day at Bosch or an intensive full day hands on workshop.

I can request Rajat to conduct a workshop if there is sufficient interest.
I have made two seperate lists based on the expressions of interest received on this thread. Assumption is those attended the Bosch workshop the first time want an advanced course, so have listed them seperately. The rest are in the Training@Bosch list:

Power Tools Training@Bosch:

GeorgeO
Phlip Isaac
vinny_wills
ravikumar615
exljp
sudhishkv*

* I have added sudhishkv's name as he was interested, but had to miss the previous workshop.

For advanced Woodworking workshop at Rajat's/My place:
sampath06
thatguy
santhosh
gobble
josephjohnt
ravikumar615

Also, my internet problem is resolved and I managed to post some pics with details at DIYable.net, will replicate the same here today/tomorrow:

I have also cleaned up the album as there were multiple copies of pics reported:

I have updated the list in my previous post based on interest expressed today. Will continue to update until the system allows me to, after which I will create a new post, perhaps a new thread.

Just to set the expectations....

The Bosch workshop will only be held on a week day. So, once we have a group of 12 confirmed participants, I can talk to the co-ordinator @ Bosch and finalise a date.

By advanced workshop..... meant we can start off from where the Bosch workshop left. Here we'll learn from other members/enthusiasts who are exprienced in the wood-working hobby. Tools will be our own. So, the advanced workshop will not make us experts..... a few more such workshops and sufficient practice will definitely get us there IMO :ohyeah:.

is this second workshop for beginners?
I am exploring DIY myself...not sure if I should use a carpenter, or... :)
 
I have a specific challenge lined up gor the meet.

1.How to drill an airtight hole for the speaker terminal which is 10mm long when we use a 19mm thick board. It is not as straightforward as you imagine once you inspect the MX terminals I have.

2. How to chamfer the driver hole. From 2" diameter to 4 or 6.

Anyone up to it?

Sent from mobile on a crappy keyboard. Pls excuse typos.

1. Why are you fixing the terminals (assuming individual pieces) directly to the box? You can fix it properly to some alum piece and fix it to the box, use neoprene rubber to seal.
2. Use Hole saw (6" will be available) or use jig saw
 
Update:
I spoke to Shankar, the training contact at Bosch and he said that there may not be any available dates next three months as they get busy with training their dealers and marketing team. He said that he would check his training calendar in case there is an available date and revert tomorrow. Will update after I hear from him.

Santhosh,

Please add me to power tools training.

Cheers.
Noted Anil. Have updated the list ^.

ShaQ, the second workshop will be slightly advanced. IMO, the Bosch one will be a good starting point :).

Because I dont want a 1 or 2mm width patch or area in my speaker box when the whole box uses 19mm thick board.

Hole saw will not chamfer. And I need 2" hole to be chamfered witha 45 degree angle.
