Despite non stop rain, we had a few show up for the meetup. Mike Drake was gracious enough to let us use his shop. We had an in depth conversation on Resins. And we mixed up a 4 color PR pour. Chuck also demo'd water slide decals. Afterwards we ordered some Pizza and told a few lies 😀 it was a very fun meeting. And im looking forward to the next one.

Ernie, I want to see those resin blanks after they are cut. Or better yet....a turned pen. I learned a lot today.
Thank you goes to Mike for allowing use of his shop today.
Dale, I'm going to work on my water slide decals too. Thanks!

A good day indeed, with Ernie, Tom, Ronnie and Mike.
Sorry the others couldn't make it. Especially the segmenting Guru, Mark!

I got the dreaded call from Susanne, before I got to I-65 on the way home.
Had to take her to ER for her Compression fracture L2 in her back.
Just got home after 9 hours. X-rays, blood work, I-V.
Luckily, no new fractures, and they were able to contact a
company to show up with a custom back brace. Gave her some meds
for pain, all at the hospital. She is doing better. Home now, and hope she can sleep
tonight.

Big thanks to Mike for letting us mess up his shop!
Ronnie, sorry we didn't get to making your FP section.
I'm sure you can handle it.

Tom, I expect to see some decal pens soon!

Glad to see Ernie again. The resin mixing mad man ;)
Looking forward to the next meet up!

We knew the pour was a little short and the mold was not level on the mechanical work bench vs the casting bench, but we ended up with 6 blanks at .7x.74 and one a little less at .65x.74. All are 5" long. I will reach out to each person who attended and send you a blank to make a pen with and post a photo of.

Nice display Mike! It was fun going back to some old roots. And everything I know about applying decals, was learned from Chasper. Thanks Gerry!

Did you guys decide when and where the next meeting was going to take place? Looks like all of you had a good time and did some interesting blank making and I wish I could have been there for the decal transfer. Good job to you all.
