For next and fall meetings there is going to different approach. The meeting will provide a space for those to come together and build.

Please Please bring Projects to build.

A space and location will be provided. With collection of communal tools, listed below. Think of it as a classroom for build your projects with free bench space.

As each meeting will have a focus assignments and projects if you like, but the focus will meeting to come together design and build in a meetup setting.

What the meeting would look like think of class along with a collection of tools and hardware with benches and tables, therepeople can together and build there projects you may have soldering and power supply, or drilling a hard drive something creative like your fitness equipment something I have done. It will be new and different crafts for meetup.

Just bring a diagram or an idea as group we can work to gther give ideas about how to create and design, Just a diagram on paper.

Just a reminder anyone is welcome to do meeting of there own, one has been done before. Completely on your own, or with help from other or myself.

The machinist meeting went well. Mainly consisted of demstration of the caliper and Micrometer the staple of machinist. And drilling and filing metal. An individual brought Computerized Machinist work for display, another had an idea about bike rack/pull up bar. I have put instructions about custom dumbell there on the site. We talk about technical writing.

It was good for first meeting 5 confirm yes, first meetup thats good. Few should start the meeting.

Discussion should be a focus. Discussion of members project ideas sounds like a good idea, like discussion of a bike rack, web page, a member had an idea of creating custom tomato planter. Future meetings to follow. Ideas welcome.

At this meetup WeBuild things. Small projects designed to be practical and function. For the purpose of being creative, learning knew skills, self improvement. More challenging than the other meetups. What kind of things projects of interest a power supply, light sources, electronics, building your own night light is creative project. Fitness equipment, a rower, pull up bars. Building the items is the reward. What a meeting would be meet in private, semi private place ideal group size around 10 people or less depend on how the first meetings progress. A place of comfort would be a bar(there's food and there's drink) a general meeting transit friendly, central located. There we meetup for 2-3 hours, and for a project construct an item. In case of a power supply batteries, wires, all that is needed, to construct a power supply, and build a power supply then and there. I run lead the non fiction bookclub group, and am interest in starting another(s) groups in the fall. Please Join New, Different, Challenging, Out side the box, worth effort

Why I do this. I building something on your own is a reward in itself. You learn how to Create.

I fiddle around tinker with items. My goal is to build pratical nice exercise equipment. I've built dumbbells, and if I get the time I would like to build more.

On the personal I study Machinist CNC/Manual, Welding, and work as Non urgent Ambulance Driver. And ran the Nonfiction bookclub. I am trying to see if I can start another meetup.

Cheers
Ian

Change in theme

Originally each meetup would have strick focus on one topic elecronics, carpentry, soldering the like. This for future meetups will change. Meetings will have theme and focus such as build your own box, and instruction of some kind. But the new concept is to develop meetup where you can come and build a craft of your liking during a regular scheduled meetup. WebuildWedesign meetup come together and build projects and crafts, as well as a focus on meeting up and build projects like build electronics kit. The purpose is to make webuild, wedesign a community where people caan come together and build on regular basis what they want to build and design, take in mind location is restaurant projects that suitable for the setting, naturally you can't be sawing in restaurant, but computers fine.
