Bridgeport class Saturday

Machine Shop

@BobKarnaugh or anybody else that knows…

I’m signed up for the class this Saturday. In the class description it says

At the beginning of class each student will be expected to indicate the up coming mill related project he/she has by drawing, picture or other means.

What exactly does this mean? Do I need to bring a project to work on for the class?

You don’t bring your project materials per se. You need to bring a sketch, a drawing, a photo, or something else so you can discuss what your project is going to be. If you’re trying to replicate something that already exists you could bring that item. This is like “Show & Tell” to describe your planning.

Part of the objective is to ensure that people have a project in mind so they can continue the learning by doing something shortly after the training before they’ve forgotten everything. I suspect that another goal is to confirm that your project is in fact a suitable manual mill project, which depends partly on your prior experience.

OK. Thanks!

You are not expected to work on it in the class, though that might be and option.

I believe this is mostly so that Bob can insure relevance.

Jon,

Nothing to worry about; just if you have an upcoming project, we could discuss the feasibility of doing it on the mill and consider what other tools may better serve.

See you Saturday,
Bob
