"Help! What Next?"
What a nice learning opportunity as members helped other members with project ideas, techniques and resources. How fortunate we are to have so many knowledgable people. Thank you Fran Rosen for providing such a wonderful place for us to meet in your home.
And thank you Michelle for leading the meeting in such a capable manner. We hope that Paige will be settled enough next month to carry on.

Possible Workshop for Next Year:
We discussed inviting Robert Dancik to teach a two day workshop. It seems that there is a lot of interest.
Lending Library:
We talked about having a lending library on an informal basis and Stephanie has agreed to coordinate it. Thank you Stephanie!
Resources:
Torches
Tips:
Coining is a nice way to thicken and finish an edge on sheet metal. Use a hammer and apply a bit of force.
If your Blazer Torch sputters, you may be holding it too vertical, try angeling it.

Using a tumbler on a piece that has been pierced is a good way to get rid of those rough edges.
