I'm happy to say that our FIRST club meeting video is now up on YouTube, on our club's channel. This is a video of the club's February meeting, in which two people from Mohawk Finishes came to describe their products and how to use them for particular applications.

You can find the video on the club's page at https://www.youtube.com/, or you can jump directly to this specific video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KLbp0N5dbM&t=1969s. We plan to create videos like this for all the future club meetings. You may want to subscribe to our YouTube channel, if you haven't already done so.
