Mule Brain,
Maybe that should be my name. (Except that might give the mule a bad name!) I checked profile and see you are from Florida.
Additional info about Ken Scott;s classes. I DON'T KNOW how far he has traveled to teach sessions. I DO KNOW he often teaches the bag making class at Connor Prairie which is in the "one o'clock position" just outside of Indianapolis. This has always been an October event. They offer quite a few different sessions and they are taught by people who will give you your money's worth. That would make your travel time "ONLY" sixteen hours!
