Camp ShopBot
07-19-2016, 12:08 PM
We just added another September Camp! Join us on Saturday, September 10 at Vondriska Woodworks for the 2016 Minnesota-Wisconsin Camp. (We weren't sure what to call this Camp since it is on the border of the two states so we just let it be both!)
Hosted by George Vondriska (Hammond, WI - http://www.vondriskawoodworks.com/home.html), ShopBot's Randy Johnson will lead a day of topic-based presentations concerning all things ShopBot, from software to machining to maintenance.
Camps are intended for any skill level and all types of ShopBot users. We cover an array of topics that can be applied to any application such as how to calculate feed/speed rates and how to keep your machine tuned up and running smoothly. And other technique-based topics such as setting up a file and machining a 2-sided project, best practices in 3D carving, and tips for cutting plastics or foam.
Camps are free and lunch is included but registration is required to help in the planning:

**Every Camp has a Show and Tell Session that lets you as the attendee show off your projects and talk a bit about your process. This is what makes each Camp really special and different: Seeing all the various things being created using the machines! Anything from a ShopBot-made jig, to a complex 3D carving, to a test piece gone wrong, to flatpack furniture, having an array of items really enhances the conversation. **
