I've read a lot about them and have 2 myself (one 16"model is to be sold off, and I will keep a 10" one for my new shop as it gets fully operational). They are described as a 2D tool (aka - a linear version of a lathe). You can't produce a pocket with a shaper alone. They are good at things...

I have cheaper ones on hand for when "good" will suffice over "best". But when I need the "best" this is what I reach for: Thomas & Betts Cable Tie - Ultraviolet Resistant Black Nylon with Stainless Steel Locking Tab They go by the brand name Ty-Rap, and have long been an industrial staple...

A) they don't all fit in nicely...the herd is being culled now. When you go fishing and hook a tuna sometimes things change fast on ya. B) not too far from there indeed C) It's actually LeakyCanoe. "Leaky" for short. Why shorten it ? It suppose it Depends :D ! It comes from a...

Flag it, watch it and see what transpires. With today's "scorching-hot" pricing on vintage machines (even here in machine-rich Southern Ontario) you certainly can't blame a fella for testing the current market conditions initially on the seemingly high side of things.

Not sure Len - you've been there since I was last in there a couple of years pre-COVID. Good you know about them though. Maybe check out that website more ? I did join UPAC and got their emails and magazines for a few years while my son was full-on into air cadets and aviation, etc. and we...

hi Len, We were looking at a used Challenger (the ultralight...not the business jet). A 2 seater, powered by a prop-pusher Rotax snowmobile engine behind the cabin. They are quite popular, and you can put floats and/or skiis on them too. Not much to them at all, but the glide ratio is such...

thanks John - yes, we're not too far apart - I'm likely 35 mins. or so NE of you up and diagonally across the 401. I've enjoyed following your posts so far and seeing the pics of you shop, etc. I almost bought a home-built airplane based out of the small airfield near Bright awhile back. My...

Fellow new member here extending a welcome. We're cut from a similar cloth as to the appeal of this here rabbit-hole it looks like.

Gents - it's a little cold in the shop today to be playing with old cast iron so I thought I would do some arn surfing online instead. I actually found this site almost 2 years ago now and tried to join then but ran into membership affirmation issues. No acknowledgment email would ever come...
