Our mission is to foster an appreciation of and continue the knowledge of machinery, transport and equipment, from the industrial revolution to the present day. This is typically achieved by recreating, in miniature, working or non-working models of any kind of machinery or transport item, be they powered by steam, internal combustion, electricity, or other means.

We are a group of hobbyist machinists with a variety of interests that meets the second Saturday of the month at locations around the Phoenix metro area, including Prescott. The group sports talents from all walks of life and levels of experience.  Beginners are very welcome to the group. If we do not meet at our usual haunt (a machine shop in Glendale) we are meeting at a member’s home or occasionally a local business. The members put on demonstrations for the group at their home shops or our regular meeting location.  These demos can be show & tell of projects being worked on or training in the various arts we have learned in the machine shop hobby or career.
