  • 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.

    UPS gripe

    This was our bottle of Gin distilled after we added our stuff.

    UPS gripe

    Whisky is made from various grains. The malted barley in Scotland. It's made that way here in a local Vancouver Island distillery but can't be called Scotch. In Alberta Rye whisky is kind of self explanatory. True Bourbon whisky uses corn but again how and in what it's aged determines how it...

    Shoulder check

    I second the narrow B roads in Wales. Very scary. I sort of shoulder check depending on what I'm doing. For the most part my vehicle yells at me if I even think about changing lanes into someone. But there's a catch. I have to signal first. If I start signalling and there is someone who has...

    UPS gripe

    That's what I meant to write. Missed the "in the style of Kentucky Bourbon" The barrels were apparently imported from Kentucky but all the ingredients and process are done in BC. And it tastes as good or better than a high quality American one.

    UPS gripe

    On Monday we ordered some more Kentucky Bourbon from the Penticton area. Locally made. Three bottles with free Canada Post shipping. Arrived this morning as scheduled. All intact.

    2x72 grinder discussion

    Speaking of sanding belts. A while back I put a new belt on my sander and it promptly separated at the glue joint. A second belt did the same. I imagine the third one there that is still whole will also separate. What's a good glue to use to put them back together? Or is it worth it?

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

    This was first try although I fully expected to perhaps add a riser on the opposite side of the feed it turned out not to need it. A 3D printed pattern, Lepages wood filler and rattle can primer filler and paint. The hole is tapered and once cleaned up sits on the tapered spindle drive. With...

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

    If I look at the pattern it appears as if you haven't got the equivalent of risers or vent holes to let the gases escape. The dry sand isn't good enough if the foam melts and forms a plug in an area where you want to vent the melted foam gas. If you build a wooden pattern and used green sand...
