• 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 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!

    Meh, at least it’s not my tax dollars so I really shouldn’t care. Hey, let’s build a $250 million building that we can’t afford to run, that benefits probably less than .1 percent of the population , then ask for more money. Great idea!

    Not all Rolex dealers make you spend money. I didn’t. I know for a fact the Ottawa dealer (Howard’s I believe) does this. I bought my sub in 2020, during Covid at the peak of demand and had it in 2 months. Very unique situation and I got lucky. Got my wife’s a few months later but women’s Rolex...

    I said earlier in this post you can’t just go to a Rolex Ad plop your card down and buy any Rolex you want. A lot of people don’t understand the process of Rolex. Go ask for a Daytona lol…. 10 plus year wait if you’re a nobody and you will never see it. A Daytona will minimum double in value...

    I do not see the point of announcing sexuality on a machining forum.

    Call me a wanker. This was 12k but worth 17k when I walked out the door. Engine in my ZL1 is worth about the same.

    Rolex are nice! The day I walked out of the AD with mine I could have made 5k if I sold it. You can’t just walk into a Ad and buy any Rolex you want…
