Paul,
I have only been to one meeting so far. It meets on the first Sunday of every other month. Most of the meeting was a bit dull consisting of lengthy discussions about who ran for which office and asking for additional donations for various causes that I had no interest in. Then the accountant for the chapter got up and began discussing U.S. tax codes and tax laws. At this point I didn’t know whether to fall asleep or leave but I stayed and I am glad I did. The last speaker was the clockmaker who designed and built the worlds most accurate mechanical pendlum clock. I posted a previous thread about it that I called SUPER CLOCK. If you have not checked it out yet you may want to.
You can go to the NAWCC website and read the blogs without becoming a member but you cannot post any messaages or view their library and video material. Sometimes a few of the people making comments can be a bit arrogant and nasty but most of the comments are similar to Bob’s forum. For example, I posted a response to a question for an ultrasonic cleaning solution an mentioned that I used NAPTHA. The reason I use NAPTHA was the result of experimenting with many different solutions and solvents and I decided to use it because it did a beautiful job and was inexpensive when purchased by the gallon. This started a barage of personal attacks that I had not seen before. One person flashed his ROLEX credential in my face and told me I needed to “MAN UP AND USE L&R CLEANING SOLUTION”. It was certainly a bit different than this forum.

David:

I’ve been considering joining one of those organizations. Now, it sounds like I need to join AWCI or BHI instead of NAWCC…

Thanks,
