Folks,

Cold anyone help this person out.  I feel this is just too far for me to travel from Gloucester.  See email below. 

Good morning, John!

I saw that you were listed as one of the mentors on the EMGW website. I was gifted a membership a few weeks ago back haven’t really engaged with the group much yet. I am reaching out because I am currently doing a senior project on woodworking at the Parker Charter Essential School in Devens, MA. For this project, I am in need of a mentor to help guide me in completing this project. Because of scheduling issues, I have had trouble finding a class in time and also have struggled getting started with actually making things. So, I am going to try to do the bulk of my learning on my own and with a mentor. My goal is to learn enough skills through practice projects over the next two months to eventually be able to create a chair by late March. I am looking for someone who might be able to work one on one and in person with me. I am also not entirely sure how this specific mentor program works through EMGW, or if there may be a cost involved.

If you are interested at all or able to help me in any way, that would be very much appreciated. I look forward to hearing back from you!

Thank you,
Jovan Tremblay

I received an email directly from this individual requesting mentoring. I responded to his email asking him to get in touch with me to discuss his goals, as learning woodworking and building a chair by March seemed like a bit of a reach. I hope he calls me so we can set up some realistic project for his graduation.  If anyone has ideas on a realistic project, I would be interested in hearing about it.
