  Rolling registration for this class series.  Please contact Brad Hess to register.
  

  This in-depth class series for the Tormach will follow the "Titans of CNC" curriculum to teach CAD, CAM and machining.  

  This will be the first of two series.  For series 1, we will be making the first 5 parts.  For series 2, we will make the last 5 more complex parts.  To take series 2 you have to take series 1 first.
  
  The student will take home 5 cool parts they designed and machined and be strong in CAD, CAM and CNC machining. 

  After completing this course, students will have full Tormach sign-off and be authorized to use the Tormach independently.

  This course will run 6-12 weeks depending upon the time you put in at home.  A fair amount of the work is self-paced and online using the videos and materials found at https://academy.titansofcnc.com/category/mill-building-blocks, with guidance from the group and hands-on, instructor-led sessions using the Tormach.

  This class will have 2-3 hrs per week of “homework,” but will be self-paced.  Ideally we would like to keep everyone within 1-2 projects so that we can share knowledge.

  Class Meetings:

  • Intro class to kick off the class and introduce everyone
  • Stock prep, machine usage and working session

  • Twice a month classroom working sessions thereafter.   Time TBD by class members.
  • Hands-on Tormach sessions with instructor, by “appointment” or group planning session
  • • 1-2 times a week with 2-3 people per session.
    • Each part takes 1-2 hrs of machine time to setup and run. 

  The cost for this class series will be $200 which would cover materials, tooling,  and expendables.

  A private slack channel will be set up for the class so we can support each other and for planning purposes.

  No prerequisites required.

  Join us at Makersmiths for a fun and creative sewing course where you'll learn how to get started with a sewing pattern.

  The course is split into three sessions:

  • Session 1 focuses on pattern understanding, measuring, sizing, fabric selection, pattern reading, and making alterations to your pattern. 
  • Session 2 is dedicated to cutting out the pattern pieces. 
  • Session 3 is garment assembly. 

  Each session can be taken individually to focus on skills you want to learn or you may sign up for all three sessions.
  

  The instructor will be using a Palazzo Wrap Pants pattern with the option to add a matching top to transform your look into a swimsuit cover-up. 
  

  Students can purchase the same Palazzo Wrap Pants pattern that the instructor will be using from Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1397060428/palazzo-wrap-pants-sewing-pattern).  Students can choose to add a top with options available here:

  • https://www.etsy.com/listing/1478219962/backless-top-sewing-pattern-xs-xxxl-back
  • https://www.etsy.com/listing/1392018260/top-sewing-pattern-xs-xxxl-tie-back-top

  If students do not want to use the Palazzo Wrap Pants pattern, they may select a pattern from their own choosing, just make sure the pattern is appropriate for your sewing skill level. While this class provides the foundational skills, additional time may be needed to complete your project depending on the complexity of the pattern/garment.

  Fabric and sewing equipment will be provided.  Students must bring their own pattern file to the class on a thumb drive or laptop (either the Palazzo Wrap Pants pattern or a pattern of their own choosing).  We will print the pattern files on the laser printer at Leesburg.

  Prerequisites: Some working knowledge of sewing. If choosing your own pattern, please make sure it is equal to your sewing skill level.

  This class will meet in the main room at the Leesburg location.

  Participants must fill out a waiver form or have a completed waiver form on file.

  This is the red tool class for our newest printer, the BN2-20!  The BN2-20 is a commercial quality sticker printer but also so much more.

  In this class you will learn the basics of using the machine safely and what it is capable of. You will learn to print stickers using white vinyl and how to laminate for durability. We will go over the print and cut feature, kiss cut, perf cut, lamination, and file setup using Adobe illustrator. Files can also be prepped in additional programs which we will go over including Flexi design studio which is a specialized program installed on the computer. 

  After this class, students will be authorized to use the BN2-20 independently.

  A separate, advanced red tool class will cover additional media, such as heat transfer vinyl, banners, printable fabric, clear and holographic sticker material, as well as using the white ink available and when it's useful.

  In this class, each student will print a set of stickers (about 5-6) using Versaworks. Each student will prep, print, laminate, and cut their stickers. 

  The instructor will provide images to choose from.  There are a variety of images and more may be added.  If you would like to bring your own artwork, please bring a computer with Adobe Illustrator or a flash drive with the image and the instructor can prep the file during the class for you. You can use the computer at the main room while other students are working and the instructor will be available to assist. Please note that those using the prepared files will get first priority to print.
  

  You will receive a handout with steps that will also be available anytime after and will be updated occasionally. You will also be given access to the sample sticker library files and a prep file that will assist with easier prep in Adobe Illustrator.

  You will take home a set of durable waterproof stickers that can be put on just about anything.

  Skills you will learn in this class:

  • What is the BN2-20 and what can it do
  • Make a sticker!!
  • Use Versaworks to print and cut
  • Print stickers on regular vinyl
  • Laminate your stickers
  • Use print and cut to put the print back into the machine
  • Load media including bringing in your own
  • Some tips and tricks and troubleshooting 
  • Learn about what other things can be done on the Bn2-20

  All tools and supplies for this class will be provided. If you would like to bring a design to print, please have it prepared on a flash drive as a jpeg, png, or pdf.

  Prerequisites: None. Be ready to participate and learn!

  The class will meet in the main room at the Leesburg location.

  Red Tool Introduction to the Axidraw Pen Plotter

  The AxiDraw is a simple desktop CNC used to guide a pen (or another implement mounted in the pen holder) along the set of vector lines, curves, and paths that you ask it to follow. It is capable of drawing essentially anything that can be composed from a set of lines.

  Check out penplotterartwork.com to see just some of what can be done with these machines.

  In this class, you will:
  

  • See examples and demonstrations of the many ways pen plotters can be used for creative drawing.
  • Learn to safely set up, operate, & break down the Axidraw.
  • Use the Inkscape 'Trace Bitmap' tool to trace photographic images into vector paths.
  • Use Inkscape extensions to create different types of fills and hatches for your images and successfully print with the Axidraw.
  • Create a 4"x 6" vector drawing. If you have a particular image you'd like to to create a vector from, please email the instructor prior to the day of class. This will help the class run more smoothly.

  After completing this class, you will be authorized to use the Axidraw Pen Plotter independently.
  

  All materials will be provided.

  While a basic knowledge of Inkscape software is helpful, it is not required.

  The class will meet in the Printmaking Room at the Leesburg location.

  Participants ages 10 through adult in this 4-session workshop will explore TinkerCad, a user-friendly, free web app used by teachers, kids, hobbyists, and designers to create models that are compatible with 3D printing and laser cutting. The workshops will be held in the Green Room at Makersmiths-Purcellville.

  Students may bring their own laptops that are Internet accessible, but we will also have laptops to use in the workshop sessions if someone needs to borrow one.

  Please complete this online waiver form to indicate you are giving permission for your youth to attend this workshop: https://waiver.fr/p-NVPOj

  Parents are encouraged to stay and follow along with the lessons, but please bring your own laptop to use with your youth.

  What is TinkerCAD?

  Tinkercad is based on constructive solid geometry (CSG), which allows users to create complex models by combining simpler objects together. The 3D models can be saved in three different formats, STL, OBJ, and SVG. Once a user creates a free account, the software works on any computer with an Internet connection and users can make a backup of their 3D models on the cloud. To learn more about TinkerCad, read this article: 

  Tinkercad: The Online Software to Start 3D Modeling

  Who are the Makersmiths  instructors? Diane Painter is a retired K12 teacher who works with Makersmiths youth using TinkerCad to design wind turbine blades for KidWind.org challenges. Robin Schenck is a Makersmiths member who is an elementary school counselor with TinkerCad and 3D experience.

  We are offering an afternoon 4-session workshop Monday-Thursday, July 21-24 in the Green Room at Makersmiths-Purcellville. During the first session, students will join Diane Painter's Tinkered class and create a free personal log-in so they can practice what they learn in the workshop at home.

  July 21 Session 1:   We will learn about the user interface as well as navigation views and preferences; shape manipulation and the scaling of shapes in Tinkercad. 

  July 22 Session 2: We will learn to group objects, create a hole in an object, align objects and flip objects.

  July 23 Session 3: We will learn about the work plane and ruler tools as well the brick and block environment. We will learn about circular patterns, linear patterns, and slicing objects. 

  July 24 Session 4: We will learn about importing, exporting, sharing, and downloading files. We will learn about how to prepare something we have created for printing using the 3D printers at Makersmiths-Purcellville.

  Students will learn to 3D print their creations.

  Meshtastic Workshop

  Meshtastic is an open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices.  This networking LoRa protocol was developed to enable low-power, long-range communication over unlicensed radio bands.

  In this workshop, you will learn how Meshtastic works and what you can use it for.  For example, for about $25-40, you can build a Meshtastic device that will give you a free texting service and does not require a cellular plan, internet, or amateur radio license!!
  

  Topics covered in the workshop:

  • Introduction to the Meshtastic technology
  • Setting the Expectation - Pros and Cons
  • What does it take to get started

  In the workshop, the host will also do a live demo of how you can utilize this technology.  The host will build a low-cost, solar-powered device by converting an $8 Harbor Breeze solar light by adding a Heltec LoRa board and a battery to create a Meshtastic node.  

  Technology/Skills involved:

  • 3Dprinting, soldering, antenna analyzer, solar power system, battery management, electronic/software diagnostics, radio propagation and antenna location, networking, and much more.
  • An introduction to ESP32 board, similar to Arduino but significantly more capable. ESP32 is commonly used in many Meshtastic devices.

  No prior experience needed.  All skill levels are welcome.
  

  The workshop will meet in the basement classroom at the Leesburg location.

  Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA) Workshop

  Did you know that for less then $500 you can do astrophotography that rivals NASA telescopes? Pair one of these smart EAA telescopes with your phone or tablet and you can set up your astronomy observation station in about 5 minutes. Take pictures of sunspots, craters of moon, deep sky objects (millions of light years away), comets, but NOT planets or the Milky Way galaxy. (These telescopes are not suitable for planets.)  But wait, there is more! Some of these telescopes can also do landscape photography.

  There are different types of observational astronomy –naked eye, direct observing (looking through eyepiece), and EAA.  This workshop only covers EAA with smart telescopes.

  This workshop will be 50% in classroom and 50% outside, observing the sky with a couple of telescopes.
  

  • The classroom session covers how to get started in EAA, types of objects observed, light pollution, astrophotography, computers and software, image processing, star atlas, landscape photography, tracking objects, alt-azvs equatorial mounts, and most popular telescopes in the market.
    
  • In the outdoor observation session, we will be observing galaxies, nebulas, moon (if visible), and other objects. These telescopes are not suitable for planets.
    

  The workshop will also cover technology/skills utilized as you progress in this hobby, such as 3D printing, image processing, building a red LED light to aid in night observing, sewing covers for telescopes, and accessories storage.

  No prior experience needed.  All skill levels are welcome.

  The workshop will meet in the basement classroom at the Leesburg location.
