Makers Local will be hosting a pumpkin carving Saturday October 24th.  We expect people to arrive as early as 5:30 for carving pumpkins, but it will continue on for as long as people want to carve 🙂

smeltingPurityMembers of Makers Local 256 have been using a propane\waste-oil forge to smelt down computer heat sinks, aluminum cans, and various scrap aluminum into usable ingots for casting.  A friend of Makers Local borrowed one of the aluminum ingots to run through his spectral analyzer and determined that the smelting process has been yielding around 98% pure aluminum.
