• 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 Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

    FreeCad BOM?

    Thx. Gave it a try, no joy. Probably doing something wrong. I'll fiddle w/ it more later.

    FreeCad BOM?

    After picking up that Acklands/Miller buzzbox the hand drawn design for my welding cart required upgrades. Decided to get my feet wet w/ FreeCad (upon feedback from @BaitMaster) & the drawing is mostly done. I drew it using mostly cubes created in the Part workspace that were shaped as square...

    Utah travel tips?

    Thx. It was a nice break & a departure from my normal diet of extended long weekends, et al. No, I wasn't seen in those t-shirts, but for reasons other than you suggest.

    I'm a purist when it comes to beer. Not only am I an unapologetic craft beer snob, but crap like beer "cocktails" is just...wrong. At the brewfest in Cody on the weekend, one of the breweries was offering this abomination of vanilla ice cream & beer. Yes, a GD beer float. Heresy! I talked...

    Utah travel tips?

    Awright, made it back in one piece. Some major changes prior to leaving. Checked the weather for said travel period in Utah. Predicted temps were 35-39. Uh, no. Chatted w/ my lovely bride, checked temps in Montana, predicted highs 25-29. Hot, but bearable. We're going to the Treasure...

    If you could own just one special vehicle what would it look like?

    I'm out in the boonies & wifi is damn slow so I won't upload any photos, but my dream car is... 1967 Corvette convertible, 427 tri-power, 4 speed. And yes, I'd commit the sacrilege of suspension upgrades so it could do more than just accelerate in a straight line.

    If you could own just one special vehicle what would it look like?

    Years ago when we used to cruise the strip in Lethbidge there was this guy in an E-type in front of me. He made a right hand turn onto Mayor Magrath Drive from 3rd Ave, I tried to keep up. I just missed the curb on the LH side as I understeered, he went around that sucka like the Jag was on rails.

    If you could own just one special vehicle what would it look like?

    Had a '72 F250 4X4 crew cab short box, 360, 4 bbl, headers, port matched aluminum intake, 4 speed, 4.11 gears (actually, front was 4.10, rear was 4.11, she did not like being in FWD on a hard surface road), 35" Mud Terrain T/A's, had 10-1/2" of ground clearance under the pumpkins. Engine went...

    Knew a guy years ago who had a Merlin in tractor pulling trim. Yeah, it didn't have the snap of the prop, but it sounded lovely anyways.
