I’ve set aside two weeks in late spring to travel to shops around the country – APRIL 23 THROUGH MAY 7 – to tape technicians doing a clinic. These tapes will be put up on ProBIRT under the “Streaming Videos” channel. You’ll be able to attend a clinic without leaving your chair! Based on the location of the people who have volunteered to do a video so far, I’ll be traveling to North Carolina, Texas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania.
It’s not too late to be added to the tour. If you’re interested in getting in on the action and doing a streaming video clinic, email me at probirt@probirt.com and I’ll send you more details.

ProBIRT is Growing
ProBIRT is growing more than I ever dreamed. In fact I almost scrapped the entire project several times because I didn’t think there would be much interest. I threw caution to the wind and launched the site in January anyway. Two and a half months later, the site is more than 375 members strong with more registrations still trickling in. There definitely seems to be interest! Now we just need to pull you out of your shell and get you to share the tips and techniques you have up your sleeve. ProBIRT isn’t “my” site after all, this is “YOUR” site. So now it’s your turn to throw caution to the wind and share your knowledge. Whether you’re a 30-year veteran or right out of repair school, there are things you know that others don’t. ProBIRT’s the place to reveal it! Post away!!!

Straubinger Workshop
I’ve just returned from attending the Straubinger Pad Certification Workshop. I had an awesome time and I learned a LOT!!! I’ve posted an article, lots of pictures, and some tips I learned. (See the home page of ProBIRT.) More tips to follow once I’ve had a chance to try them out myself.

A Note About Posting on ProBIRT.com – “How do I add content to the site?”
First, in order for the features to be enabled that will allow you to post content to the site, you need to use your first name followed by your last name as your Member ID (i.e. JoeSmith). Otherwise you are given read-only access to the site. See the Memberships Page - for info on membership levels. If you missed this before registering, no problem. Just let me know you'd like to be able to post and I'll change your username over. Email me at probirt@probirt.com. Please include your Member ID and your real name.
If you used your name as your MemberID, you will see a link in the upper right hand box called "MyPROBIRT". This is where you can add new content or edit any content you've added in the past.
Same with the Shout Box. If you used your name as your memberID, there is a text box with a "Shout" button below the postings where you can shout to others.
All Forum content is added within the forum area. Again, if you used your name as your Member ID, you will see "Reply" and "Topic" buttons that will allow you to post.

which gauge? stevemarti (4/7/2005) |
Most techs set them up free flowing @ 8" and about 1 scfm?
The idea I think is to apply press within a reasonble range compared to playing. Too much pressure would force normally closed keys open, for example.
