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.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

    Hitch extension

    Switch to a manual jack, but weld a nut on the same as your leveling jacks. Then use a battery impact for all. Power jacks all around.

    Stark No 4 Lathe - $900 - Lindsay, On

    It's getting close.... Not sure I'd ever have the desire or patience (time) to see a proper restoration through on a lathe like this. I DO enjoy watching others do it though....

    Welcome to Westwood Metalworks, What is he building in there?

    I usually spray after dark, but by the time I got in there and seen this one I'd grown very tired of the multi day pest quests I've been on lately..... so I just jabbed a rake in the side of it and hauled it outside to dispose of.

    Spring is Here!

    Welcome to Westwood Metalworks, What is he building in there?

    Life lesson #2307. If at any point you suspect you have a skunk problem, and set a live trap to deal with said skunk problem and a Groundhog appears, and convinces you that it was a groundhog problem, you should still expect to see a skunk in said live trap.....

    Separate Jacobs chuck from CAT40

    It should come off easily with wedges. Chances are, if you remove the pull stud it's a through hole though, but be careful hammering on that end, as you could mushroom it, and make removal more difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. A press would probably be the best option, supporting the...

    Well that's certainly a little more upscale than my screw into OSB :D. Still hard to believe the finish that the Bambu's create, and the speed at which they do it. Nice job!
