If you have anything that you would like to add to the agenda, please let me know.
Also, please bring something you are working on, or a completed item for a group “Show and Tell” Also please talk about anything you are working on to share.

Just a quick reminder that the next FSG meeting will be this coming Sunday, March 15th at 1pm at the FSG Studio located in Making Awesome MakerSpace.
Instead of our regular meeting, this month we will have two demos along with time for everyone to try them out.
Ursula will be demonstrating a low tech hydraulic press using steel plates and a vice, and I will be demonstrating quick casting with rock salt, beans and water.
if you would like to try out the demonstrations, please bring a piece of sheet copper or silver for the press, or scrap silver for the casting.
See you on Sunday.
