to Make:Princeton
I just announced the next meeting on the MAKE:Princeton blog.
Due to the success of and excitement about the metal casting meeting,
We'd like to try metal casting one more time. We feel like it was a
lot of fun, but there are still lots of little bugs we need to work
out of our process.
Some people had some other ideas, such as green/environmentally
friendly/energy efficient design. These are all great ideas, but I'd
like to push them back to a later meeting.
For metal casting, I have parts I'd like to cast for my Stirling
Engine project. Additionally, Ken suggested we make some sort of
small memento, such as MAKE:Princeton plaques or keychains, so
everyone can bring something home.
Because of the nature of this activity, we cannot do it inside. Also,
for safety, we want to do it during daylight hours. Thus, we will be
conducting this meeting at a new location (Nick's back yard) and at an
earlier time (5pm). We realize that some of you will be coming from
work, so don't feel bad about showing up late; we'd rather you get
there late then miss the whole thing!
Where: Nick's Back Yard, 222 King St, Princeton
When: 1 April 2009; 5pm--dark (feel free to show up late)
What: Casting aluminum in sand and plaster
Bring: friends, ideas, enthusiasm, and scrap aluminum (don't bring
cans, as their high surface area causes them to oxidize instead of
melt).
