Finishing School

Post by Ben-Had »

I would like to get better by attending a "hands on" school on finish spraying. Does anyone know of one? The only one I can find is this one:

Robbie O'Brien would probably teach you. He has taught high gloss finishing for several years.

I am currently planning on some hands on French polish workshops. But not spray finishing at this time.

For those who don't feel up to doing their own finishing due to lack of facilities (like me), is there a list of people who perform that service for you? In particular, I'd like to know if there is somebody in northern California who does this. Thanks!
