Next meeting - Wednesday 18 March 2009 - Metal Casting! Different time and place!

[nickjohnson]

Hello All,

Tomorrow, I want to try something different with Make:Princeton...

Something cool and something a little dangerous. Tomorrow, I want to
cast some aluminum.

As you may guess, this is not something that can be done inside. As
such, I'm going to host the meeting in my yard. Since we need
daylight, I'm going to start the meeting early. Don't worry if you
can't show up at the start time, this will take a while to complete,
and I'll be going at it for quite some time.

Let me say that again: DIFFERENT TIME DIFFERENT PLACE!

Where: 222 King St, Princeton, NJ 08540 (Butler Apartments)
When: Wednesday, 18 Mar 2009; 5pm--finish
What: backyard metal casting of aluminum, with sand casting.

Streetside parking is available. Also, the Princeton University "East
Line" bus will take you to King St from the Woodrow Wilson School or
from the Engineering Quad at Princeton University. It's an easy walk
or bike ride from campus.

If you have any aluminum scrap, please bring it! If you have a
(relatively simple) model you'd like to cast, bring it!

Bring your friends!

Nick and everybody,

The metal casting session sounds quite interesting. Alas I will not be
able to attend this meeting or the ones for the next couple of months.

I have a meetings on Wednesday evenings in North Jersey through early
May. I wanted to let you know so you didn't wonder why I dropped out
of view.

BTW, the BBC covered the recent Makers Faire in Newcastle, UK:

Some interesting video clips.

Cheers,
Jon
