Ok chaps, my wife and I have talked it over and we're coming over for the MAPG :biggrin:

What would you like a demo on? :smile:

*Etching Aluminium / Copper alloys

or

*Anodising Aluminium / Titanium

Can't really do a demo on the plating due to the fumes they give off without a fume cabinet or extraction hood.

personally, anodising (anodizing here ;) ), I think it would appeal to more people and especially myself. you've got me all excited now
 
Its a shame its too far Chuck, would of been good to chat in person :smile:

Jonathon you need to go so i can soak up all your casting secrets lol

Edice, steak wins every time :biggrin:

Jeff, will be good to see you :cool:
 
I can't take the poll as the choice I would make is not listed. That would be C) BOTH. Reason is you are traveling a good distance and may as well book you for both and make it more economical.
 
I can just imagine the scene.....:)

Customs official......'What is the purpose of your visit to USA?'

Brad, while wearing white lab coat and head torch...'Hey dude, I'm gonna show a bunch of guys how to mix some acids and other chems...'

Customs official.....'Guards!!!!!! Take him down!!!!'
 
Brad, after just looking at Bruce's thread, I may be able to make that trip. Since it's not until May. I thought it was sooner and, conflict with our move back to Indy. We shall see :biggrin: Therefore, I will register my vote.
 
You do indeed Roy!

Steve don't even go there lol. Customs have a habit of stopping me for some reason. shoes and belt, to dismantling my laptop to make sure nothing was hidden in it. Id like to think i don't look THAT dodgy.. but C'est la vié

Chuck, great news!
 
Brad, no need to try bringing the chemicals. That's available locally. I may even bring mine. Just make up some of those cool patterns. :biggrin:

This is assuming the etching demo will prevail in the pole.

Most often they pick those who they feel are easy targets and who will complain the least. The shoes and belts among most all other 'security' measures is nothing more than a museum trip and is not real security by no stretch of the imagination.

Hi Chuck,
Chems and equipment have been arranged so no worries there :wink:
 
Thanks to all who've posted or voted

I will be demonstrating exothermic etching of aluminium, and anodising aluminium

And, I'm trying to come up with a good lead in demo on making a kitless aluminum pen. Goal is to be able to do this on any lathe with common tools. Have a few prototypes in the works!
