- Proposed Charter -- REC.CRAFTS.METALWORKING
-
- The USENET newsgroup, rec.crafts.metalworking, is a newsgroup which discusses
- various aspects of working with metal, such as (but not limited to):
-
- machining, as on a lathe, milling machine, grinder, etc.;
- numerical control of such machines;
- welding, whether by gas, arc, mig, tig, thermite, or other methods;
- Metal joining, whether welding, brazing, soldering, riveting,
- screwing, folding, etc. (this section was added during the discussion)
- casting various metals by various methods;
- hardening/tempering various metals;
- blacksmithing/forging;
- spinning and hammer work;
- sheet metal work;
- jewelry-making;
- purchasing and/or reconditioning metalworking tools and machinery;
- interesting projects;
- books on metal technologies and history;
-
- Example areas of interest:
-
- knife/sword making;
- automotive repair;
- steam engine (model/scale, though full-sized discussions are welcome!);
- art work, such as bronze castings and sculptures;
- gunsmithing;
- toolmaking, such as for woodworking, further metalworking, etc.;
-
- While the bulk of the discussion will probably be directed towards
- small-scale "home" shops, industrial/production discussions are also
- quite welcome.
