    Stores to check out in Edmonton??

    Well, We are heading home now. Only about 500 km to go. Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions . We got to Busy Bee, which was great. Lee Valley was actually more interesting for the wife than me. Woodworking is something I want to learn about eventually, but at this point I'm more...

    Stores to check out in Edmonton??

    Thanks to everyone for replying to my question. Busy Bee, Kms, Lee Valley, and United Tool will all get a visit. Now I just need to figure out which Gun Stores to visit. P&D ent. Always gets a visit whenever I'm in the city... Ken

    Stores to check out in Edmonton??

    Thanks for mentioning the Busy Bee store Craig. That's exactly the type of store I'm looking for. To the other suggestions, I think pretty much every liquor store everywhere looks quite similar. I won't be able to convince my wife that driving 6 hours round trip to Calgary for the KMS store...

    Stores to check out in Edmonton??

    Hello everyone, I haven't been on here for quite some time. Life decided to throw some more headaches our way. But we are finally getting to the other side of it. My wife and I will be in Edmonton for the next 4 days, and will have quite a bit of time to get out and enjoy some...

    Antique lathe selling.

    I just spoke with her and someone is on their way to purchase it. I'm actually surprised. People who do metal working don't seem very common in this area. Hopefully it goes to a good home. The information is appreciated and interesting. Thanks.

    Antique lathe selling.

    I have a couple more photos, but I keep getting this message. The uploaded file is too large for the server to process. Not sure what to do. The pics have a smaller jpeg number than the ones that are above. I'm not well versed in photo sizes, how to adjust them to fit,etc. Any advice is...

I'm not in the position to purchase this, so I'm putting it on here, hopefully someone else is interested. A neat old piece of equipment. I asked the lady selling...

    Tips/Techniques Which printer to buy advice needed

    I thought I'd update this discussion. My friend messaged me this morning, and she ended up ordering this printer: - https://qidi3d.com/products/qidi-technology-3d-printer-x-max?variant=40481842069640 It's way above the original budget she set, but her husband fought with the Creality one...

    Tips/Techniques Which printer to buy advice needed

    Thanks for the info as always. She is impatiently waiting for Creality to get back to her, hoping to solve the issues. But some of the printers listed on this page has her interest. I'm trying to talk her into joining the forum, so she can discuss things directly. Her husband is really good...

    Tips/Techniques Which printer to buy advice needed

    Good day, This sub forum is pretty quiet, hopefully someone will read this. I'm asking about new 3D printers for a friend. She has had nothing but grief getting going. She bought a Creality Ender-3 V2 3D Printer for her boys. She bought the first one from a private seller on Amazon, and it...

    Tips/Techniques Need some guidance on a lathe/mill comb machine

    No reason to be sorry anyone, that's precisely why I asked here. I had my reservations, but there are SO many machines and brands out there, I figured I'd ask, just in case I happened onto a unknown gem. Very obviously this is the opposite of a gem. But now I don't need to wonder. Thanks...

    Tips/Techniques Need some guidance on a lathe/mill comb machine

    Thanks so far. I thought that original price he quoted seemed terribly high, but I wanted to double check in case it was some industrial grade unit or something. I won't bother contacting him, unless I have some time to spare. If it's still for sale once the snows gone, maybe I'll see if he'll...

    Tips/Techniques Need some guidance on a lathe/mill comb machine

    Good day everyone, Once again I need to tap into the huge knowledge base on this site. Up where I reside, used smaller machinist equipment is very rare. Machine shops selling at auction aren't very common even. But I came across this machine for sale close to me. It's a lathe/mill combo...
