At the meeting held on April 7, the membership revisited the meeting schedule and adopted a motion to schedule meetings on a regular schedule. Conflicts or changes required are to be decided by the members at the meeting before.

Thus:
Thursday, May 12
Thursday, June 9
Thursday, July 14
Thursday, August 11
Thursday, September 8
Thursday, October 13
Thursday, November 17
| This course will qualify those who successfully complete it to use the table saw, the jointer, and the thickness planer. It will comprise a one-hour classroom session covering the three tools with to respect to: tool specifications and features safety considerations selecting the appropriate tool for a given task correct and safe use of the tool The classroom session will be followed by a two to four-hour hands on session. During this session, using the tools will be demonstrated, with student use incorporated along with the demonstration. Part of this session will involve the student creating a small project from rough lumber. |

| This course will cover safety, metal cutting, cutting tools, grinding HSS bits, work-holding, and lathe operation. Although the course will mention cutting of iron and mild steel, it will be oriented towards techniques and settings used when cutting aluminum. This consists of a 4 hour-ish lecture (9am-1pm) followed by an individual project. Basic shop safety is a pre-requisite. The project is optional for people with previous experience on a metal lathe – talk to the instructor. The materials and tools required for the project is supplied, although an investment of $10-$50 in your own cutting bits will be required over time as you work on your own projects. Minimum 8 students must be registered to hold the class. Maximum of 20 may attend. |
| Laser cutter training is open to all members who have been vetted and completed the basic shop safety course and are current on dues. If you are still a probationary member, or otherwise are not eligible to use the laser cutter you may still attend the course, but you will not receive a laser computer login until all requirements are filled. There is no cost to attend the course. The course covers the operation of the laser cutter itself and use of the lasercut 6.0 control software. The course does NOT cover any CAD or software used to generate the .dxf files required for the laser. There are many options of software that will create these files and most are roughly equivalent. |
