Here is the link to the March 16 Eastside Clinic. The meeting lasted a little over 90 minutes. The video has not been edited. It includes specific presentations from Lee Marsh, Terry Dillon, Jake Swaney, Larry Sloan and others. There is lots of chatter just like a live clinic, so it’s worth taking some time to enjoy.

Our Eastside Clinic will meet this Thursday at 7PM.

Our Topic:

What’s on your work bench, another look.

Please chime in with some helpful ideas. For instance, I will discuss bendable plywood and some simple techniques in scratch building wood structures that I have used. There has been a lot of chatter lately about ACC, so, any comments?

We will meet at 7PM.

Here is the link. I will open the room at 6:30.
