[MakeLV] Steampunk stuff was: Re: Newbie

Rob,
 
I'm not ever at the space, so it would be harder than you expect to watch  
me make slag balls.  I live in Ohio, near the Air Force Museum at  
Wright-Patterson AFB.  I would suggest that you look for an adult class in  welding 
at your local high school.

Welcome  Pat and Sam!

It oh so cool to have folks with different interests  joining the group!

Sam: my son Nick is intrigued by steampunk ... he  was fascinated at
the steampunk area  at Maker Faire Bay Area and he  likes collecting
old things ....
Here is a picture of him with his  steampunk hat he picked up while we
were  there:

(yea  ... and some other gut he met)

Pat: I've been wanting to learn how to  weld for sometime .... I'd
enjoy looking over your shoulder (with proper  eye protection :) ) to
try and learn from someone ...

Hope to meet  you at the space soon .... I'm in western NJ so it take
some effort to get  out there .... so I'm not there as much as I would
like .... but I try to  make up for it by being very verbose on the
list  :)

Cheers!!!

--> Rob
