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.

A heavyweight panel on lightweight aluminum benchwork is this month’s 4dPNR “Second Saturday” Zoom
Join us on Saturday morning, March 11, for a look at how you might use aluminum instead of wood for some or all of your benchwork needs. An astute panel of model railroad “users” of aluminum will briefly share their research and experiences with various products and layout situations, with time at the end to answer any questions you may have. One of the panelists, Magnus Christerson, will share the quantitative results of some recent shop experiments he conducted on supporting model railroad benchwork. The other panelists are Dave Kreitler, Mort Grosser, Burr Stewart and Jim Betz, all of whom have recent experience using aluminum extrusions for benchwork. The panel will be facilitated by Lee Marsh, a confirmed but reasonably open-minded wood benchwork practitioner.
As usual, this “Second Saturday” Zoom meeting will open at 9:30 for chit-chat, with the program starting at 10:00am PST. The Zoom info to join the meeting is:

Incidentally, this imaginative program was the brainchild of some illuminating conversations that took place at last year’s PNR convention in Eugene. You never know what will happen when you attend a regional convention with a few hundred other fellow modelers! This year’s convention will be in downtown Tacoma, May 10-14, called the “Prairie Line Experience”, and if you haven’t already registered to attend, please consider doing so now, at the convention’s website https://PNRTacoma2023.org . In addition to the on-site clinics, contest room, ice cream social, banquet, and aforementioned illuminating conversations, there will also be layout tours all over the region and the opportunity to attend operating sessions on some of the area’s finest model railroads. Don’t miss it!
