I'm actually looking at putting together a monthly open manufacturing meetup
at Makers Local 256.  Tentatively set for the last Thursday of every month
around 7pm.  I'm looking to gather folks from around Huntsville working on
cnc machines, 3d printers, forges, vacuum forming tables, etc.

Makers Local 256 currently has 1 functional 3d printer (two more in the
works!), a mini-cnc machine with someone is working on a larger cnc machine,
a vacuum forming table, and an Al foundry/forge.

Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or suggestions.
