St. Louis MO. CBG Club/Workshop

We are organizing a CBG workshop held one Saturday a month at the 61 roadhouse & kitchen in Webster Groves MO. (St. Louis Area). This is also the home to the St. Louis CBG festival each year.

Bill Kunz of 61 has been generous in offering us a place to meet, practice, discussed ideas and what ever members decide to do with the time. Gary Herget and myself are contacts for this club and are open to ideas to make this a fun club. As soon as we have commitment from members, we can set up a Saturday each month to meet mornings. We haven't set a day or start time as of yet. We need to know who can commit at least to a start up and discuss as a group when and how we want to run this. Possibilities are great!

That's OK Rat we had a great time today a couple of new people showed up and fit right in. Somebody asked about you but we couldn't really remember who you were. You'll have to re-introduce yourself next time.

I'm bummed I missed out this month but my paycheck should be nice!

Worked hard on the shop today remodeling it. Picking up a dust collector try and save my lungs. This is how I'm setting it up. 1st the chips drop into the 33can then the small dust particles get sucked into the bag. The .5 micron bag on top is replaced with a drum filter which works better and that way no fine particles return to the airspace. Anyway this was shown to me by another buyer who posted this pic. I liked the idea and am using it.
