I have been working on This Idea for quite some time . The options were videoconferencing with codec systems etc... Very expensive and it takes a lot of bandwidth. I tried webinars, but the video is terrible. I thought about skype, but too many problems. I found the solution I have worked out right here in Traverse City. This is a pc based system that works well I have a student now and we have been working out all the issues. The video is crystal clear. I have cameras set for the microscope an a high end tilt pan zoom that can be pointed to anything I need. It's all working great. I tested it overseas as well and it works well there. The website will be ready by the end of the week . I am calling it The Engravers studio. I have attached a pdf file with all the info from the website. It will have pay pal and also a members area password protected with video and info for people who have taken a course. This will give students added support.
I have set dates for the first class which will be bulino. The dates are July 19th thru the 30th. the cost is 950.00 usd. For those that are interested in signing up for this first course contact me at chrisdecamillis@hotmail.com or by private message.
Here is the info on the home page. If this interests you then look at the pdf file for more details. Thanks Chris

Learn New Skills or Advance Your Engraving and Stone Setting
Learning has never been easier. This is the most innovative way you can learn today. It's no longer necessary to travel to a destination to learn these exciting skills. All that's necessary is the desire and a home computer.
How it Works
The classes are held in your own home or workshop via the Internet. This isn't your typical online course. These are courses taught live by professional engravers and stone setters. This system utilizes high quality video conferencing technology. It's a live course in real time in which you will view your instructor and they can view you as well as all other participants in the class if you choose to do so. It will be as if you are in a classroom setting except you will be in the comfort of your own environment.
This means that your costs will be reduced significantly, since there are no expenses for transportation, meals, or lodging.
ADVANTAGES FOR LEARNING
Courses will be offered in a two-week format; meeting three or four hour sessions every other day. The off days will give you time to practice and absorb what you have learned. This method is more conducive to learning than the traditional five-day training which compacts the learning leaving no opportunity for practice, resulting in less retention of the material.
Live support will be available on non class days. Classes can be tailored to fit your schedule. We can meet during evening hours so you can go about your normal daily activities. This means little or no time off work. For the busy jeweler, taking a class after closing time means no lost revenue or time away from your business. You can increase your skills and remain competitive in today's market without leaving your work behind.
Our training facility is located in the Eastern Day Light Standard Time Zone. If you live in another time zone, we can create a plan that will work for your schedule.
For the workshop that has several people at the bench, we can customize a class to fit your needs.
Individual training is also offered on an hourly basis. Training can be scheduled whenever it's convenient for you; for one session or one session a week. You name it. Imagine taking a class and then a week or even a few months later being able to schedule a time for your instructor to answer your questions and critique your latest engraving project.
