On Saturday I hosted the bi-monthly workshop for the Washington Historical Gunmakers Guild. During the get together we sat down and scheduled the seminars and classes for both the WHGG and the West Coast Horn Fair. I won't go into details about the gunmakers schedule but I will elaborate on what was proposed for the WCHF.

1. The WCHF staff wants to change the name to the "West Coast Horn & Accouterments Fair". The thought is that there is so much more we do besides horns and wanted to make sure we were including knives, bags etc.

2. We have requested April 23 and 24 with the 22 as a set up day. We have not received confirmation from our host but feel confident we will get our requested dates.

3. The following is our proposed preliminary class schedule for 2016:

Saturday AM: Tips and tricks for turning horn on your lathe. Instructor Steve Skillman
Saturday PM: Knife assembly, show me the ways to attach a handle/haft to a knife blank. Instructor Glenn Sutt

Sunday AM: Straps and attachment methods. Instructor Scott Morrison

I leave you with the above information as it was presented at my shop on Saturday. There will be more to come. Please check with any of the horn and accouterments fair steering committee members for further information. I am confident that Steve will keep the members of the horner's bench informed as developments are made.

Presented by the Washington Historical Gunmakers Guild.

This years show will again be held at Capitol City Rifle and Pistol Club near Littlerock Washington. There is onsite camping or bring a cot and stay in the building. There are also motels nearby. Meals are included in the price. The event will open at noon on Friday the 1st and go through noon the 3rd. Price is $50 for the entire event or $30 for Saturday only. Please let us know if you will want a table to display your work.

There will be again this year a raffle and Auction on Saturday night to help raise funds for the event. If you have items you would like to donate, please let us know ahead of time so we can announce them. However we will gladly accept items on the day of the Auction. This is always a fun event and some great items always show up to be bid on.

This year we are pleased to have a Scrimshaw/Engraving class taught by Steve Vance. Price for this class is $100. You will receive an unfinished horn with the class, but you are welcome to bring your own suitable horn to work on. This class will be held on Saturday the 2nd. This is a great chance to learn by one of the top engravers on the west Coast. A tool list will be sent upon registration. Class will be limited to 8 students.

There will be a Beginning Powder Horn building class taught by notable West Coast horners including Glenn Sutt, Scott Morrison, and Steve Skillman. Price will be $40 and will include materials to make a simple horn. There will be a lot of valuable information in this class as well as help with building your horn. Tools will be provided but feel free to bring your own as well. This will be a class using mostly simple hand tools. Class will be limited to 8 students.

Jim Hayden the Book Peddler will be there again this year with great books available. We are not certain at this time if there will be horns available at the show this year.
