Burnt a LOT of Black Poplar out in Alberta (Edmonton <spit> and Cold Lake), and learned fast that if it was too large, or in ground contact, that it wasn't worth hauling home. I shopped the windrows that were left as guys cleared farm land or cleared lots for houses. Our house guests soon...

I've met a fair few who came away from an education, dumber than they went in, but they were not exactly shining stars! Christ! If brains were dynamite, they'd have a tough time blowing their noses! I hundred percent agree, that investing in to yourself, is almost always a good choice! And, I...

Speaking of Acronyms, I see by the banner warning above the classified Forum, the use of "FUD". Someone wanna fill me in?

I'll see your FUBAR (saw THAT WAY too many times!), and raise with FIGMO, the point where FUBAR stops bothering a fella and he goes all FIGMO! F-It, Got My Orders! Which normally you are moving from one FUBAR spot to a different kind of FUBAR spot... Change is nice! LOL!

SNAFU, made me recall MFWIC... Mo-Fo What's In Charge! :) Near 30 years in the Forces, I learned a LONG time ago, that trying to carry over 'known' acronyms from one section or branch, NEVER worked out while trying to translate anything written by someone in another field of expertise! At least...

When I was living in Moose Jaw, I found that driving and especially phoning around the various suppliers, made a huge difference. 40 minute or so drive to Regina, about ten bucks round trip back then. MUCH cheaper to take the road trip, and add another stop to the inevitable list of places you...

I have not been on the Edmonton scene for some years now. You got my best guess and suggestion, and you are gonna have to do some legwork. Eventually, you will find some suppliers that you can live with. Have not sold scrap metal in the past 40+ years, as I either had a use for the stuff, or...

Jeebus, I'da figured the results of a web search for drill bushings, online, would have left the OP basically busy trying to sort out the options... They can be got in so many ID/OD combinations that it makes the head spin, trying to figure out why they are so cheap!
