Arizona Area Metal Hobbyists
Valley metal is a group of machinists, hobbyists and tinkerers based in Arizona. Our members are from all over the state. We meet at least every other month to show off our shops, what we've accomplished and hope to accomplish. Meetings are informal and are a great time to get to know each other and learn new techniques. The group has a swap meet once a year, usually in February. If you're in Arizona join us at one of our meetings.
The group has a forum on Yahoo Groups,

Industrial Metal Supply Tour
As always if you plan to attend, you need to have safety glasses and a filled out Liability Release in hand when you arrive or on file with the club. It is a good idea to bring a folding chair with you as we seem to be short on seats at most of the meetings. |
