A brief Schedule for the day:
All event -- Make your own cat Toys & Paint a rock
Come see the world of 3d printed Combat Robotics. These Feather Weight Tools of Total Destruction are remote controlled and super cool to watch. We have even built our own inhouse arena for practice!!
5:00p CNC Router In action with Hunter
This is one of our most used tools that you will not find in a normal home shop. Hunter will be showing off some of its capabilities while actually working on a personal project of his own.
5:00p Learning to Solder with Joe
This is a solid go-to demo for us. We teach it at enough events that we have our own custom light up badge that you will finish up to keep. Blinky Bling y'all!
5:30p Making Sparks with Metal Grinders
Our metal shop has seen tremendous growth in use this year, leading to the addition of several new (to us) tools and a re-design of its layout. It's also cool to just watch sparks fly!! 🙂
6:00p Music starts
"Who's Asking?" takes the Stage in our back lot to provide some Music for the evening.
6:00p Card Weaving with Diane and Tony
We aren't all just about the big tools in back. Diane, our current space President, and Tony, a previous space President, will show off the amazing style of Card Weaving, on self built looms.
6:30p Laser Etching Food for Fun
Did you know we have 4 Lasers? We do!! We will run something to show off the big one, and then Laser engrave cookies to share on one of the small ones. A tasty demo for sure!
8:00p Sand Casting Aluminum with Alex
We have a foundry for melting metal, plenty of scrap Aluminum, and a station for building sand molds. So we figured that after dark we could help light up the night a Glowing Orange. Come out to see the Molten Metal Flow!
