A group for those who enjoy metal working and machining meeting monthly at the 

Charles River Museum of Industry, 154 Moody Street, Waltham, MA 02453   

 

Next Meeting:  Thursday  2 July  2009 @ 7:00PM 

The July meeting is one of our two semi-annual "poster sessions".  No scheduled speaker but everyone is encouraged to bring something to show off and discuss.

 

     

If you are a first time visitor to this site, please, take your time,  look around and see what our group has to offer.  We hope that you find things of interest and always welcome your comments and suggestions.  Please feel free to contact the webmaster at errol.groff@snet.net 

     

I probably should just leave this information here on a permanent basis.  The link to the casting photos is:  http://neme-s.org/images/Mystic%20River%20Foundry/MRF_1.htm

A new item has been added!  The index of speakers will let you look for a speakers name and find the edition of the Gazette in which he or she is mentioned.  Also mentioned is the topic about which he spoke.
