• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Cheap Bstrd Thread

    1st point of my CB'ing.... I have a very, very old Craftsman shopvac. It has to be at least 80's vintage. It's red if that means anything. The original filters long gone, and the unit is so old, nothing on the market fits. So I took 2 of those yellow, microfiber clothes for cleaning (the 10...

    2002 VW Golf refurb

    IF a fella were looking to wake that 4 cyl up...I'd look at doing a cam n lifter upgrade. I realize it's purpose is for the kids to drive...but you gotta have some fun Dad... I helped a guy with a MK4 2.Slow Jetta do one, after we'd swapped out his exhaust. His reasoning was, my MK2 "shop...

    2002 VW Golf refurb

    I've always had a soft spot for German cars. I've owned at least a dozen VW's over the years. I've never owned one newer than 93 though. 3 were snazzy beaters, 1 was my "shop truck" with a stroker motor that liked ripping up stock clutches o_O...but most of them were just fun little daily...

    I thought this was neat

    Solid and printed in PETG, figures it was 8-10 hrs to print Used and new spares. 40' worth of bending on those original dies Says his press has a basic 20 ton bottle jack in it His 914 at least has a floor back in it now. Next is the suspension setup I'm helping him build. It'll be unique...

    Scrap Metal Bin Score

    So @ my work, we have a fellow, who let's say...isn't exactly a poster child for Higher IQ Magazine... This toolbox, in all the years I've been there, faithfully sat upstairs in the maintenance room, minding it's own business...holding tools. Poster child, in a fit of frustration with something...

    I thought this was neat

    A friend of mine, recently printed out some forming dies on his 3D printer, installed them in a homemade press, and shaped some body components for his Porsche 914 project.... I do not know what material he had to use, but the dies apparently worked really well...I've got pics in my phone if...
