Mike

Dan couldn't make it along this time due to other commitments so it was just Chris and John initially. We chatted for a while with Jon from the Youth Centre about publicity for future Hackspaces and about some old video and music technology they were thinking about disposing of. We looked up some secondhand values on Ebay so it may be possible to bring in some funds for Malvern Youth Centre if someone has the spare time to list some of this kit. A little while later Mike from Malvern LUG came along and showed us his little netbook and an external USB LCD display. We talked about machining techniques for making bushings for a small gymbal rig including using a milling machine as a vertical lathe essentially and the possibility of making a form tool for more traditional lathe operation. We concluded with Malvern LUG inviting Malvern Hackspace to a curry in Paprika in Malvern Link at 8pm on the 27th June, after the next Hackspace that is.
