[Imc-makerspace] Maker moving to town

[Stewart Dickson]

Re: bike welding -- Another working group of the U-C IMC is the Bike
Project -- *Lots* of raw materials over there for making mutant bikes.  I
can do brazing right now.  Have done steel stick welding
in the past, but don't own my own rig at the moment.  Cheers,  -Stewart
