Special Interest Groups (SIG) are forming:

A Special Interest Group may consist of a small group (usually) of members who share a particular machine, or area of endeavor such as Using Hand Tools, who would like to get together, talk shop, and further their special interest.  Attending a SIG is also a fast track way to learn from fellow members who bring their experiences to share. An ideal group would consist of several members, some of whom would like to learn more about and share their special interest, some who are beginners, and hopefully a mentor with expertise in the special interest.
