---Some updated information.


---Only 37 days left before the Cuesta College / MetalMeet & West Coast Metal Shapers event. It is very imperative that the folks that are trying to organize this meet know how many are going to attend. Eddie Salais and Ron Mc Donald are planning to have lunch and maybe breakfast burritos at the meet. Also we plan on supplying some materials and most of the consumables that will be used at the meet. Please help us out by registering early.
We are also planning to have some demonstrations by some of the attending metal shapers. Just some short seminars to get you started on a project.

1. Beginning metal shaping
2. Shaping a mini fender (clock fender)
3. Shaping a motor cycle gas tank
4. Getting started in riveting
5. Special shrinking techniques
6. How to make some simple homemade tools.

I hope to have more information on the demonstrations soon.

And to top off the meet Ron Covell will be there for guidance, direction and to interact with you personally. Well worth the $50 entry fee.
