Welcome to Alpine Technical Workshops^©! The workshops are led by a highly experienced production shop owner, Joe Calhoon. Partnered with Greg Godbout of Rangate, Inc. Carl Stout of Martin Woodworking Machines Corp., Riccardo Garniga of Garniga Tooling and Functional Fenestration, Inc., we are bringing this multi-day course focusing on the production of European solid-wood tilt and turn windows as well as lift and slide doors.

Alpine Technical Workshops^© are organized in such a way to build knowledge and relationships, among woodworkers and business partners, including machinery, tooling and hardware partners. This is an unique opportunity to learn from a custom woodworker with over 34 years of experience, building a community with other attendees & sponsors and finding out how to improve your business operations by preparing and selecting the right tools to build the windows and doors.

Each Alpine Technical Workshops^© session is kept to a small group of attendees (less than 4 people) to ensure its high quality of knowledge sharing and positive experience. The entire 3- or 4- day course takes place in an operational production shop. This small group allow us to adjust the workshop outline, catering to the attendees' need, and generally include:
- Tilt/Turn Window Production
- Lift/Side Door Production
- Sash and Frame Production
- Profile Design and Tooling Optimization
- Machines and Specialty Devices Operation
- Hardware Selection and Installation
- General Production Safety
- General Business Operations

In May 2010, we have also started a discussion board "The Alpine Technical Workshops© Forum" where past and future workshop attendees as well as industry partners can share ideas, best practices and exchange information on our solid-wood Euro window and door production industry. Discussion areas include production of tilt/turn windows, lift/slide doors, tooling, machinery, software, specialty devices, hardware, gasketing, glass and finishing. Together, in an organized fashion, we are efficiently and quickly growing a niche segment of our industry.

If you are interested in producing these solid wood, energy efficient and secure windows and doors, please email or contact Greg Godbout at 888-925-7999 (888-9ALP-999).
