David,
I'm glad that things are progressing nicely. Lyle has embraced the remote demonstrations, and it's been fun mentoring him so he's more comfortable with the technology.
A few days ago, Lauren and I did a 2.5 hour jewelry turning demo from our home in New Jersey to the Maui Woodturners' group in Hawaii, a mere 4,900 miles from here. Two demonstrators in two different floors of our home makes for some interesting technical challenges, and it all worked out fine. With picture in picture, the audience could see what both I and Lauren were doing at any given time. Cool toys!
So far, the feedback I've been getting about the remote demos that have been taking place has been very good, and I look forward to hearing your experiences.
Of course... if you want an 'eccentric' jewelry demo for your group, you know where to find me.
Happy holidays, one and all.
