• 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!

    Likely scam FB Marketplace item: Lista Cabinet

    Likely scam FB Marketplace item: Lista Cabinet

    Optimistic price imo, as a Wpg-er myself. Listas, Vidmars, Rousseaus and the like don’t come up for sale often here though. Shipping price is way high for a cabinet Wpg to Regina. Don’t know if it’s a scam, but it ain’t a deal.

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

    Wow! That brings back (bad) memories of driving a U-haul truck starting Dec 30th many years ago from Kingston to Winnipeg with 3000 lbs+ of mill and tooling in the back. It was a rushed adventure or someone else would have gotten the mill. The only enclosed truck I could rent across provincial...

    Well, there’s the Mustang that the guy down the street from me dug out of a swamp and restored. Um, not a Ford… https://www.mustangsmustangs.com/p-51/survivors/serial/44-63476

    Looking for some opinions from those of you how rebuilt a head stock

    Good to hear, Tom. I didn’t go up Illimani- looked really intriguing though. Glad you went. The glacier /snow started maybe 150m above the hut on HP when I was there but was esp sun rotted the higher we went. Like smaller penitents. Wouldn’t mind going back to Bolivia. Glad you had a good trip!

    What does Condoriri look like now? Any snow/glacier left? Was on it (and a few other Bolivian beauties) almost 20 gears ago.

    CLARKSON END MILLS $105.00

    Looks like a good deal, but I’m out as I don’t e-transfer. Gentle suggestion that it’s not a bad idea to put payment methods accepted in initial post.

    Would be fine by me.

    Utah travel tips?

    Any chance you’d go as far south as Durango? Some very nice operating narrow gauge steam there. All sorts of very nice hiking in the Tetons. Love Jackson Hole.
