Hey all-
I've been messing with metalworking for a few years now and have been going to the local comm. college in my area for about the last 2 or so years to learn to be a machinist. I've found that the more I do it, the more I love it! I was wondering if there were any clubs in the Chi-town area for any aspect of metalworking from CNC machining to blacksmithing to welding and beyond, and if not, would there be anyone interested in starting one? I lust over the public machine shop in California and the Houston machine club in Texas and I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one. I'd love to get together with others in the 'scene, as it were to swap ideas, work on projects or just talk shop. If anybody's interested, please drop a post with where you are in relation to the Chicago area (I'm in the far NW suburbs) and what your interests might be in metalworking and maybe we can get something started.
Hope to hear from y'all soon-
