Fall 2015 Central Florida Machinists Get-together

I may be interested, just to see the plethora of experience that would be there. Sept 12th may be a bit tight though. I'll see.
 
Very good guys. Now if you can get a few more to check in you will be in business
***G***.
 
Be it one, two, or a dozen, I think we'll be ready this coming weekend.

I intend to fire up the foundry for a bit, pig some hand drive chassis and scrap aluminum into ingots, the little flux-core welder will be set up for those that want to piddle with it, the shop will be open (messy, but open), and all are welcome.

Again, if anybody has anything they want to bring to show, trade, or sell, you're more than welcome to. Got a project you need to work on? Bring it. We'd all love to have a look. I have a 9" lathe, and a horizontal mill, and if there's something I can do to help you along, I'm happy to help.

You'll have to excuse the two roosters, they're idiots, but harmless. Might be some fresh eggs for those that want some, but I can't guarantee that. We go through 'em pretty fast around here.

Anybody else that wants to show up is more than welcome, I'm just looking for a headcount so I know what to expect, and can plan accordingly.

Thanks!
 
Hey Ogberi ,I plan on coming up Saturday if I can get all my work done so I'll need some direction,thanks Rick
 
Hi All,

We got a small handful interested, which is good! I'll post my address tomorrow. I have the usual saturday morning chores to attend to, so feel free to show up around or after nine am, and we'll carry on as long as we feel like.

Thanks!

Shad

The workshop is on the right-hand side of the house, just walk towards the chicken coop and you can't miss it. The roosters are noisy, but harmless.

I have my usual Saturday morning chores to attend to, so any time after 9AM is just fine. I haven't had the time to get any patterns made, but I will be pigging out some scrap aluminum. The little flux core welder will be set up, and it's got a new spool in it. (note to self, I need to replace my welding gloves!)

Don't know what we'll all do for lunch, but I'm sure we can figure it out.

I have 3 dogs, but they'll be closed up in one of the bedrooms for the day (one barks incessantly, the other two just get annoying). My wife works on Saturdays, and has some family stuff to attend to, so she won't be home till late afternoon.

Smoking is allowed in the shop, and of course outside, but not in the garage or the house. Any preferences on sodas? Otherwise it's coke, mountain dew, and diet coke. There will be a big jug of semi-sweet tea, and there's plenty of coffee. Plenty of bottled water, too, cause it'll be a hot one tomorrow.

Thanks!

Sounds like a good day , unfortunately I am scheduled to work .....
 
It looks like the forest is between us, but my GPS claims to know how to get there. Its a little late to organize food. We can always go get something if we don't get ourselves too messy. Dogs shouldn't be a problem. I have 3 of the little buggers myself.It will probably be closer to 10 before I get there. The cat is diabetic and he needs food and a shot at 9:00.
 
Don't take 'Trail 13' as a shortcut. I haven't been down it, don't know how nasty it is.... Take Lecanto Highway. Sooner or later I'll take Trail 13, but I'll be sure to bring a come-along, chains, and wallow boards.

As for food, Pizza Hut delivers here, plus there are other places around. At the very least I have sandwich stuff in the fridge, and there's always fresh eggs. :)

As for messy....my wife makes soap that takes 99.9% of the taste out of sulfur based cutting oils right out of your hands. Miracle soap. :)
