Hi,

I'm in NW CT. I'm at square one, the desire to make a cnc router. I'd like too avoid a big false start and and could use some mentoring and direction.

Perhaps the CT people should meet for coffee?

I would love to have a get together for coffe and such.

Any proposed locations for coffe?
We could get together at my place fora little show and tell but that will have to wait untill after the holidays as things are quite busy around here right now.

Hello , I'm in S. Central MA. I would be interested in trying to get together. The folks in NH get together quite often and really seem to learn a lot from each others ventures and experience. I think it could be a real benefit for all.

Hi Dick,

I like the idea of getting together and bouncing idea's around even if it is just 2 or three of us to start. I do it now, but it is just one of us at the moment

I think the first few meetings should be done at a public place like a Friendly's or Denny's or somewhere. I am willing to drive so it doesn't have to be near my house.

This Saturday looks good to me, say 10:00 am, this way we miss the breakfast and lunch crowds or we could do it in the evening which is tougher for me but doable. Either way I am flexible on times.

We just need to pick a location.

There is a Friendly's on route 44 at the intersection of 44 and 167 right on the Canton, Avon, Simbury line. It is 5 min for me and is pretty easy to get to. If anyone has a different location in mind let me know. I will get the big table in the corner.

The get together went well. In attendance was Dick L., Stanv and myself.
A good time was had buy the three of us over coffee. We discussed where we are currently and where each of us is heading in the future.

We seem to have a nice mix of abilities. Dick is a long time machinist with years of cnc under his belt, Stan is a total noobie but has a fair knowledge of Autocad, and I have a pretty good handle on how to wire stuff and put it together.

Looks like we will me again next month for more of the same. If you would like to join us and are within driving distance , let me know by PM or reply to this post.
We are open to meeting at different places so no one has to drive too far every meeting. Stan and I live fairly close together and Dick had quite a drive. Next meeting will most likely be in Dick's neck of the woods or possibly at his shop. We will let you know where it will be held and what the date is going to be.
