MDGMS Workshops MDGMS WORKSHOPS

DATE:    Third Friday of each month (even in dark months)
TIME:    6:30 p.m.
PLACE:  25647 W. Main Street, Barstow, CA 92311

Our regular monthly workshops are scheduled for the third Friday of the month, and generally are held through the summer when the regular meetings are dark. Members work on various projects, either their own or for the club. We welcome visitors to come and use the machines under the supervision of club members for the first time, but the machines are for the use of members only otherwise.

Our club maintains a variety of lapidary equipment that club members can work on independently during workshop hours. There are no fees for equipment use. Members have access to six Genies, one 14 inch oil saw, and one 5 inch trim saw.

There is always a club member available to assist with the equipment. Collectively, our members have a wealth of talent and knowledge which they are always willing to share with beginners and advanced users alike.
