8/04 Metalshop meetup

We had a pretty good turn out tonight!

We are very close to getting the sandblaster up and running! Though we could use some help sewing together a dust collection bag to go over a 6in pipe (ask Larry Meeks for details), everything else is ready to go!

To help celebrate, Larry brought out one of his small sandblasters to demonstrate how this setup works compared to our current harbor freight machine. This new setup is capable of sandblasting more than just metal! It should also be able to blast/engrave things like stone, plastic, and glass given the right pressures!

The new setup should also mean being able to sandblast larger parts really quick!

How’s the best way to contact Larry about the sewing needs?

@Larry might work. I’m not sure if he checks the forum or gets notifications though.

Someone else sent me his phone number in a PM.

@Malissa @rustin.atkeisson I’d like to know if you need any more help with this because I’m offering my help. I have a commercial sewing machine and experience sowing canvas, leather, and heavy duty fabrics and am happy to help.
