I said I was going to do it many times, so finally: I'm teaching a totally free (though you may want to bring some money for dinner, we will probably order pizza) AEG tech class. All 'students' will be provided with a disassembled AEG when they arrive. There will be work tables and tools (not enough for everyone though, bring your tools too) and I have several AEGs to choose from (first come, first choice). I will be going between everyone giving instruction and oversight. You will learn to reassemble basic externals and internals, and build the gearbox from the ground up. In addition to the absolute basics of gearboxes, we will also cover shimming, lubing, cleaning, parts failures, compression, etc. The goal is for you to arrive and convert a pile of parts into a properly put together AEG that will run well for a long time, gaining hands on experience in the process. This class is for everyone from beginners who have never seen the inside of a gearbox to those who have done tech work before, but want to get a better grasp on some of the finer points of gearbox work.

-Sunday, Dec. 15th
-Swansea, SC (PM for address after you RSVP)
-2pm start
-Bring tools (I don't have enough for everyone) and money for dinner (will order pizza if you want to pitch in)
-A maximum of 5 may attend, RSVP in this thread
-We will cover most internal aspects of AEGs

I just might come and bring some tools of my own for others to use and a camera to capture everything.

Count me in on this one

Make that 2 of us Gamecock folks. I'm very much down for play time at Dominum's!

If there is a spot left, I would like to come also.

We're up to three confirmed now.

I am bringing One friend with me to the tech class if that is okay!

Yep, we're up to four now. There's room for one more to learn hands-on, and a few observers.

Ill likely be there as an oberver/TA i know i have some things of my own that i can bring to work on. However this is only if work doesnt screw me over which for some reason they are always so inclined to do :-P

I hope you can make it.

We still have one hands-on learning spot left open!

Due to real life/work my friend can not make it.

I have had to reschedule this for Dec. 15th (I wasn't sure if I would have to, but I tried to give as much notice as possible by sending out PMs the other day, as soon as I knew this was a possibility), I am very sorry if this has made it so anyone can't attend, but something came up.

Please let me know if you will still be able to make it.

Just a reminder this is happening this Sunday.

This is happening tomorrow, and there are still two spots open. There will be homemade cheesecake.

Those of you that didn't come missed some yummy cheesecake, but if you did:
