Just a thought, have we tried having online meetings?
With all the online meeting tools available these days it wouldn't be a stretch.
The hardest bit would be agreeing on a time.
Maybe once a month, from the bench in your home.

I'd be interested, but not exactly sure how that works...
... I'm guessing you'd need a webcam?!!....
 
Interesting idea and yes a webcam is a must. You get Zoom easy enough free and you used to be able to run meetings for 45 for free on it. It would sometimes let you go longer and if not you just had a second meeting scheduled to follow om from the first one.....
 
An interesting thought. Plenty of different video chat options.

If you have a tablet or a smartphone you have that covered. Most laptops have one built in. Not all though.

My biggest wondering would be would you have the bench, yourself or both in frame? Not sure what would be best there...
 
Had far too many of those when I was working thanks!

It'd be the bench for me...
.... not into being on a video screen at all!! ;)

I have several cameras so could do the bench, my face, back of my head. The finer details could be worked out and refined over time. I know my local(ish) IPMS branch has monthly Zoom meetings and my wargames group had "paint and chat" sessions over the periods of lockdown.
And of course with no driving there's no limitation on beverages.
 
Interesting idea. Not really sure if I’d be interested though. My steam powered desktop would need a camera and headset mike to be fit for purpose.

My webcams have a pretty good mic. Headsets only really useful if in an office envioroment.
 
Ive got a half decent laptop and i know how to turn it on.......... and thats it!!
 
I'm not against the idea. Might be worth a shot if someone is willing to host.

not really into video meets
Dave
Me neither Dave....
.... you don't have to "appear".... Just a voice and the occasional pair of hands flashing across the bench would suffice I reckon....
..... that's what I'm planning on...
.... should it ever happen of course. :)
 
Sorry, not my bag either.

I avoid social media etc. like the plague, The p.m.'s on here are all I need.

However, I wish you all the best with the idea, Karl. :thumb2:

not for me, done enough of it over the last 3 years at work and dislike it

good luck with it though
 
Wouldn't work for me, my bench is in a summerhouse in the garden which is a wi -fi free zone ( due to distance, not choice).

Interesting idea though.
