    CNC BBQ North Carolina?

    Hey I just learned about Benny's CNC BBQ I was wondering who wants to go first in NC.
    I live in Western NC.
    I have already put out a feeler on Mach Forum but Benny suggested that I do it here as well.

    Regards.

    Milling Grilling Get Together-June

    Okay here is my suggestion between June 30-July 1, 2006 there will be a custom Bike and Car show that will take place in the Arts District, Downtown Winston Salem I think this would be a good time for a Milling-n-Grilling Get together.

    Here is the site for The Heavy Rebel Weekender, so you can see what is planned for that weekend.

    http://www.heavyrebel.net/Info.html

    I will post the same on Mach Forum to see if the others respondents like the idea.

    Tips?
    On our forth BBQ we had a video projector so that people could bring a CD of pictures of thier machine. I would highly recommend that.
    It helps to motivate if someone can bring a small working machine. I know after some had seen my machine they pulled thier finger out and finished thier own machine. ( but not essential )
    Bring parts that you have made, to show others.

    Be strict on times for arriving, eating and video, etc, other wise the time will go and you might not have done everything that you all wanted.

    Even if its not encouraged, you will find that people may want to swap software, and want to use your computer to burn stuff. Its your descision, about what you choose to do there, but either be prepared to burn stuff or be able to say no.

    Make it BYO pretty much everything, and dont make it a time for too much drink. We have never had that problem though.

    The host doesnt need to stress about having his workshop clean. We are all the same, and love a bit of rubble. In my case a lot of rubble.

    If 3 people come, its a success. Dont be stressed about numbers, although the more the merrier.

    Thats about all I can think of.

    I'm going to be in the states at that time. Maybe I should raise the Aussie flag and get up to NC for the BBQ. What do you think Benny.

    I'll keep my eyes on this thread and see if my travel plans will allow me to go. (That is if us Aussies are welcome).

    Thanks.... I never even hear of them.
    Maybe if others would like we can make this our first event.
    Couldn't see a cost is it a free event, just registration?

    I'll find out today, because I work there all because of you guys on cnczone. I was hired in April, to be a Tech. but will be working in the showroom for about three months or so. The one2one is one way Biesse teaches their customers and future costomers about the capibility of their machines. As for the cost I believe its free, becuase its a sales event. They take orders, and also sell the demo models. The machines are all impressive. Right now there are two flat table routers for nesting parts mainly cabinet componets. A couple edge banders, and Selco (cnc saws) set up in the show room. I'm pretty sure we will be getting another 5 axis machine for the one2one. Anyway keep in mind that it will be a sales event. (I'm not sure if you guys would want to go through that or not)
