    Feeler: Looking for a Favor..........?

    This is coming together, I’m blown away by the generosity of this group! :) @slow-poke , can I put you in the staging lane? Someone has spoken up and come to the line so unless something goes away it’ll be a green light. Thanks! @Dan Dubeau , amazing how the hard competitors on the track...

    Tool Tools to set angle on compound fairly accurately?

    When I spoke in another thread of how much I like the taper turning attachment I have, I don’t think I highlighted the contribution the DRO makes for me to make the job easier. Before DRO I was doing the indicator shuffle but now there’s no comparison for speed of setup or resolution (and...

    Feeler: Looking for a Favor..........?

    I had a talk with the seller and he was adamant that he wouldn’t ship. Sounds like he’s doing the sell (of a bunch of things) for an older friend that isn’t up to the task himself so there’s not a lot in it for him. Yes, I think among our members you’ll find the finest kind of people, even in...

    Feeler: Looking for a Favor..........?

    Lol! Ottawa is a bit out of the way for me too! If you do find yourself in this neck of the woods definitely drop by for a visit, shop talk is always good talk. :) I like the no strangers vibe, there seem to be a lot of friendly and enthusiastic members that I just haven’t met in person yet...

    One of the "Member Spotted" Kijiji links that was posted recently led me to a different ad by the same seller for a nice looking 6” chuck that would be a perfect fit for my SM 1120 lathe. Only one glitch, the chuck is in Ottawa, not here in my back yard in NS and the seller won’t ship. So...

    Northern lights at Canada's far south!

    Saw some last night, the last time I saw them I was a child. Here (NS) they were faint and mostly greyish with some slight green and pink. I was surprised to see anything because it was supposed to be cloudy, we got a quick view about midnight. Spectacular photos @Susquatch! Tonight is...

    CA-ON McMaster-Carr

    I created an account, that seemed to be how to gain access to order. The form changed when I entered Canada as the destination, I assume that included shipping details but I hadn't gotten that far. The messaging thing you speak of, is that an Instant Messenger window or E-mail? D :cool:

    CA-ON McMaster-Carr

    That must be controlled by a USA or other switch in the shopping cart because they did not offer costed options for shipping. Maybe they’ll make the upgrade for us gringos at some point. ;) I wasn’t worrying about it, I wasn’t in a hurry and didn’t want to pay for more than ground anyway. Now...
