    Default Having Bill Young come to your shop....

    They have a article in the newsletter about having Bill Young come to your shop...
    "But if you do something interesting and could use some help for a few hours, we'll share and promote it with the ShopBot community."

    To me that would be like having Obe Wan come to teach you how to become a Jedi Knight!
    It went on to say he may have a companion with him. Do you think he might bring Yoda?

    I wish i had some project going on i could take advantage of this.

    Trying to think of a job using my longer slabs that are so hard to manhandle from the wheelchair
    The thought of Bill being used as an outfeed table, or fetching Birdseye from the rafters is ludicrous though.
    Now coffee....THAT I got

    Hi all,

    The whole idea behind this was that we get pictures of a lot of ShopBotters output... the stuff they make... but generally not much about the process which to me is just as interesting. And that the only way to really get a feeling for what people do is by jumping in and (hopefully!) helping.

    I'm not sure how useful I'll actually be, but being an outfeed table or fetching Birdseye from the rafters is certainly within my skillset!

    Having worked with Bill at a few Maker Faires and other Bot related gatherings, I can pass along he brings a HUGE knowledgebase and he also brings along a box full of great stories! A really great force for everything CNC related. Russ
