We are happy to adapt any meeting to member or public interests!
Please come to the Sumter St. side of our building (1225 Laurel St.). Our entrance is under the drive-through canopy and inside the fence.

At every meeting we will offer a General Tool Introduction - Showcase of our tools! We will show you how to use our hand and power tools in the wood and metal shops. Great for new members!

You can also join us on Video - We use Discord to live stream our meetings.
