We moved the equipment donation from IUP today!

Well, I guess to be fair, the movers did the moving. The studio now has six lathes with plenty of room for our other two when the time comes. There are also two band saws, a drill press, belt/disk sander, chop saw, scroll saw, a drum sander, and a grinder with two CBN wheels. I guess I shouldn't forget about the well stocked coffee service.

Most of the equipment needs a thorough cleaning and some repairs are needed, but all is doable. Over the next few days I'll be sending out a schedule of volunteer opportunities and some specifics of things we need that you may be able to help with. I'll also let you know when I'll be there so if you want to just swing by and help with cleaning or just visit, that would be great.

I will be at the studio all day tomorrow, just call if you want to make sure I'm there.

Folks, we now have a very well stocked club house that we can teach in, demonstrate, learn from each other, or just come to turn while sharing some coffee and a good story or two. It won't be long till it's ready to use, I hope everyone takes advantage of it.
