Yep, good to see you baker.
I've a lot of great feedback to leave here, apols that I haven't yet.
You all did amazingly, especially you.
Thanks so very much.
Sup?
Really happy to hear that it's working out and that everyone's happily involved. I'd a good look over the thread the other night when we spoke and was hella impressed at how it went and your notes.
At first read everything was superb.
No problem, and thanks. A lot of juggling going on just now. Feel bad to be leaving the bakery for so long, so any free time I've jumped on there, meaning to jump here as well.
I'm aiming to be there on Thursday but if anything happens I'll have to cancel. I don't know if you'd want to do it again if I have to run?
I'm happy for you to, or anyone else to, or we can postpone it, I'm easy here either way.
Have had some ideas, quickly -
Have a class for practical baking with Q&A, then a week for notables class with Q&A. Alternating, just because everyone has Q's about notes and baking them, but we're all tired by the time the baking's done. See what you think.
Then there's the videos. I got Bandicam and it's working out great so far, testing it.
If I'm around on Thurs, I'll come in at 6pm so you know. Does that work for you?
How about posting them into a fresh thread and linking it here, I'll get it?
Can't thank you enough for doing all this work putting the material together.
Ok, great. Thanks baker. Will check back.
Great idea, we can work on it.
Thanks for everything Rusty, the space, your hospitality and support with the classes. It's really appreciated.
What's involved? I'd be more than happy to lend a hand here, here and there.
Agree it's too fast. I think anon just wanted to show how easy it is, which works for some people, but we're in the process of making more for the visually oriented.
Thanks for any feedback and ideas, we're trying to make it as great as poss for new bakers.
Just looked over the QnA collection, what an incredible trove of fantastic info.
Thinking aloud, how would it work putting them in sections?
Ex: Notables, Creating Threads, Formatting Q Posts, What If?
That kind of thing? Then if anything’s asked which has been covered before, we could link the new baker to that section in the QnA thread.
We’d be adding to them all the time I imagine as well, so maybe with each new baking class we could have links from the OP to the most recent batches? Once I do the training videos and get the slides improved, I would have time to help with it, or if you’d like to take/keep ownership of it GYB, that’d be awesome.
Just trying to think of a system as streamlined and as easy as possible.
The slides and videos I’m aiming to be a stand alone class/course which any of us can use to teach.
Thanks WnB, for your amazing help and support!
Thanks also for picking up the slack when I’d to run last week.

The plan just now is to have a corresponding video for each slide, then some extra ones for making buns, jumping around a thread, linking, tips etc.
All ideas welcome. If once they’re made you see anything which needs changed or added, I can remake them, easy, so please just say.
Thanks for that Rusty, sounds good, and would be safe to have people around who can act in those situations.
I'm up for it, if you'll have me. I like to give back and appreciate you giving us the board to practice on.
I'd give my word to you that I'd only to do these things (delete self doxes and pin threads as per your pre-instructions), unless you say otherwise.
See what you think.

Thanks a lot anon, appreciate you taking a look and your feedback.
Take your time, there's a lot there.
Excellent videos, baker!
They look perfect. Kudos for it being your first time as well. Nice work. We can use them tonight.
The only thing I’d say is, not sure we should be teaching new bakers to link to the dough post. I think we should teach them to link to the actual thread, which a, teaches them how to link to a thread, b, teaches them the traditional way at first, and c, encourages anons to read the notables.
What do you think?
They are so great; simple, informative, clear, clean and 100% informative. Nice work!
Just put out an ad in the general for tonight, will post below. Feel free to repost, I’ll be afk until 5-6pm when I’ll come here to prep with you.
Also, hoping for time to make a notables trimming video, and will use your slide as the slide version. It’s perfect.
Also,
Step x Step Baking Seminar Tonight @ 7pm ET
Come and throw some flour around, have a laugh and learn to bake.
Everyone welcome, come and add to your skillz.
Practice baking and QnA at the same time, so you can also come and ask baking Qs if not practicing to bake.
Feedback from new bakers has been excellent so far, everyone saying how great the step x step, supportive teaching format is.
Bakers have been (and still are), refining the course using all feedback to make it the best.
New bakers asked for videos to go along with the slides, so we’ve now made them and will use for the first time tonight.
We would really appreciate you coming over to give them a test drive.
No need to worry about time you can give to baking, if you know how to bake you can help out any time you have time. A few of us would welcome a baking break sometimes and the op really needs new bakers.
Ok, hope to see y’all over at comms this eve at 7pm, the class thread will be pinned.
Oh, we have drinks n snacks n even Fiji water girls coming to serve ya.
