COME JOIN US!
This meetup starts with some socializing with the group and new people introductions. It's common to see people showing off their metal art work so bring any if you would like to. There are demonstrations of various machines or tools usually, so if you have welding clothes and a dark hood please bring them if you plan to participate. Demonstrations consist of MIG welding, oxy/fuel welding and cutting, plasma cutting, electric bandsaw cutting, forging steel rods and objects, and other hand tool demos like grinding and piercing metal materials for art fabrication.

Who attended?

    • “ Chase and I made a welding table. I cut the bars on the band saw and he welded it to the frame of the table with his mig welder. It looks great and will be a great surface to work on for a number of projects. Because it used to be a gorney it goes up and down, adjustable to height of people. Chase cut a bunch of the tubular metal that Jerry brought to our space. He is to make many things with that metal. Our new member David came and we talked about his project that he wants to start. We did some plasma cutting on copper sheet for another shape for a mirror frame. Overall, it was a very very productive meeting and we are making great strides. ”
