• 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!

    Shop Is your shop messy or spotless?

    WD40 is better than brake clean and relatively speaking it's fairly cheap. I definitely never use it for lubrication either, but rust prevention it's better than nothing and definitely better than something that strips everything off. For a welding table I prefer it not to be too oily either. If...

    Shop Is your shop messy or spotless?

    I wipe mine down with WD40...would rather it not rust, so removing all the oily/dirty goodness with brake clean isn't ideal.

    How to measure high torque values?

    What size is the bolt? Unless it's something like M16 or bigger and Grade 10, I might question if they put the wrong numbers in. Like using the Nm numbers as the lb-ft and then did a conversion from that higher lb-ft into the Nm. Ie the guy was like "ya, needs to be torqued to 350...what's that...

    Came across a bit of "we've already tried everything so don't need your help" but it's all good. If I could get into the servers, I'm sure I could figure it out, but sounds like access is limited.

    Given the content is there and can be retrieved if you don't rely on the javascript library that's doing the loading on here, it's unlikely it is actually screwed up in how it's stored on the server. With the errors I've seen, the request is making it to the server, the server is processing it...

    Same issue with his attachment. Keep in mind that Edge, Chrome, Brave, Opera, etc. are all Chromium (I think they're calling it Blink? now) based. Safari is WebKit based which is what Chromium forked off of long ago. And FireFox has its own Gecko engine. This is why you'll see different...

    Developer Tools in Chrome, just hit "F12" to open and there's a bunch of tabs in there showing this info. Console has the exceptions (errors in javascript on the page typically) and Network you can see all the traffic back and forth from the browser to the server, so each resource it loads...

    After a restart with the quic disabled it switches to an http2 error and doesn't load the resource: I'd have to see the server side logs to get any further probably, the http request headers are different between a straight get on the attachment itself and the get when it's embedded, and I...

    So the resource is there server side and can load fine if you go to the direct url for the attachment: https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/attachments/17516435459207399432093079362872-jpg.66783/ However, despite returning a 200 (http success) there's another error ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR...

    Can someone provide me with examples of where this happens? A particular thread with these images? I can help narrow down this sort of problem if I can recreate it.

    Real estate listings suck

    Oh pft, I wish it were $0.5m would be way easier...down here in the southern part of Ontario those sort of lots are typically $1.0-1.5m.

    Find the conservation authority for your area's mapping tool, they'll show you regulation limits, flood plains, wetlands, etc. and you'll quickly discover that any prime piece of vacant land that isn't already built on is 99 times out of 100 not buildable due to restrictions. That, or the price...
