• 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!

    I've eaten at the Irma, but never the prime rib. Yep, Ma's is my go to breakfast joint, but I've never tried the hash. Will remedy that this trip. Thx.

    Garage sale find and miss

    Years ago I heard a story from an AGT (before they became Telus) employee. He had a coworker who was asked to install an extension phone in a rather large & open family room. There was a couch & chair set, a side table & a baby grand piano all on a hardwood floor. The customer wanted the...

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

    I've never seen the draw. For 18 years my daily footwear used to be a pair of Zamberlan hiking boots. On my 4th pair. With the advent of my newish job 2+ years ago, I wear safety boots during the week & the Zamberlans on the weekend. Occasionally a pair of shitkickers when I ride. Save for...

    Rain in Edmonton

    I'm fairly conversant in most common measurements, both metric & Imperial, & can usually convert back & forth fairly accurately with memorized conversions. That said, I don't have a clew WTH a kilopascal is in relation to PSI.

    2002 VW Golf refurb

    I've got a rigid frame I've been wanting to drop an Iron Sporty engine into for years. When I finally get 'round tuit, my back probably won't be able to take it.
