SUMMARY:TGoM Membership Meeting October 2024
DESCRIPTION:October 9 Membership Meeting Explores AI Advances in Materials Discovery\nEllad Tadmor is a Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at U of M\, and he will lead our program on Wednesday\, October 9\, at Christ the King Lutheran church (8600 Freemont Ave S in Bloomington. Map unavailable. Check Google). He will talk about how recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing materials discovery. He spoke to us years ago at the Historic Fort Snelling Auditorium with a combined meeting with the MN Clockmakers Guild. \nProf. Tadmor uses theoretical models and computer simulations to understand material behavior and failure from the fundamental interactions of their atoms. This requires a multiscale approach that can link processes occurring on atomic scales to the scales of human perception. \nI looked at his fall class load\, and he is teaching a graduate level course on Continuum Mechanics\, which is the fundamental subject that serves as the foundation for solid and fluid mechanics. It provides the most general description of the deformation and response of materials to external loading. He says that this is his favorite class to teach because it shows students how most everything they learned in their undergraduate engineering curriculum is unified and generalized in this course. \nNote: If you’re over 62\, you can take the course for the price of books and parking. It’s course # is AEM5501. Don’t know about you\, but I don’t think I would be his best student \nWe will enjoy our customary potluck at 6:30 pm\, so be sure to bring a dish to pass and some of your favorite show-n-tell items. \n— Richard Zielike \n

SUMMARY:Betty Lamp Class 2024
DESCRIPTION:Instructor:             Martin Pansch\, 612-599-4762  blacksmithingyeti@gmail.com\nClass size:              Maximum 8 students; minimum students 4 \nBetty Lamp \nClass Description: A Betty lamp is an 18th century oil lamp of Germanic origin that could use any number of household oils (fish oil\, fat trimmings\, bacon grease\, etc.) In this class we will be making Betty lamps by cutting\, filing\, and bending pieces from thin sheet metal. Pieces will be held together by small rivets while we braze the bottom in the coal forge to make it water (oil) tight. The top will include a light hinge. The forging in this class is minimal and light\, making rivets and the spine. Some students may not finish the lamp during class time. \nClass Manager:  Marty Masters  Contact Marty with questions: mastersmw@yahoo.com or 651-285-8731 \nTools and Equipment or other items participants are to bring to the class: A forging hammer\, a small (8 oz or so) cross peen\, a medium size flat mill file\, small/jewelers square files\, a hacksaw with fine blade (18 or 24 TPI)\, small cold chisel\, vernier calipers\, long flux spoon\, borax flux\, tongs for 1/8”\, center punch\, scribe\, fine Sharpie. For making small rounds and square holes (1/8” or so) you can either bring a drill and bits or small punches. If you have a vise with good jaws that you can bring that would be helpful. \nSafety Equipment – safety glasses\, ear plugs\, natural fiber clothing (nothing that will melt). \nLunch Arrangements: You can either bring lunch or grab something from one of the local dining establishments. \nTo register online:  click here to our website Education page \nTo register for this class with a check: Contact class manager Marty Masters at mastersmw@yahoo.com or 651-285-8731 and send him a a check for $75 written to The Guild of Metalsmiths. \nAcceptance will be in the order submitted\, based on the online transaction date or postage date\, and each person will be notified individually.
