Default Michigan Metalshapers Gathering 2016

The Michigan Metalshapers Gathering dates have been set. It will be Sat. and Sun. April 30 + May 1 2016. We will follow a similar schedule as last year. 9AM -6PM each day. I hope to get into some more advanced stuff on Sunday. Maybe do some buck building and after fitting some pieces do some welding and metal finishing. I also want to encourage people to bring a small project that we can share with the whole group. I would like to limit the size of the group to 20 people per day. Cost will be $40 per day. Lunch will be served both days for a donation. Please register in advance by calling Andy at 248-948-9474 9-5 M-F. or mail registration fee to 5625 Upton Rd. Hastings Mi. 49058. Any questions about what to bring or about lodging please call Andy.

I was made aware today that I put in the wrong phone number in my opening post about this years meet. The correct # is 269-948-9474.. You can call me Monday thru Friday 9 AM-5 PM if you are interested in attending. I'm sorry if this has caused anyone a problem with registration.

I would like to thank Andy and Mrs. G for the time and effort they put into their gathering! This event is always a learning experience for me. For those who haven't met Andy, he's a multi-talented guy and his gatherings are very enjoyable.

Thanks for the compliment Mike. I had a good time and I think most everybody learned a couple of things and we inspired some new metalshapers to get their hands dirty and bang on some metal. I know we are bad about taking pictures but you only need to imagine the smiles on the faces of the young guys when they see the metal move for the first time! Thanks again to everyone who came out and to Dagger tools for supplying some great tools for sale at the meet. We will convene again next year in late April so keep yor eye on this site for more info.
