• 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 Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

    It's a REALLY common platform. I was a parts guy at JET equipment for 10 years and learned a lot about the various brands coming out of here and there (mostly Taiwan). The only tricky part was making up the motor bracket. And even then, if you've got a MIG and a bandsaw, you're good to go. If...

    Well - all that stuff, and about 10 times more. Hahaha....no, really.... there was a LOT more.... Why Coaldale? I guess... why not? Was sick of living in a big city. Even Lethbridge itself was too big. At least here it's still close enough to 'stuff', but far enough to say I don't live...

    Went and took a few shots inside. Please excuse the disaster area! It's just me out there, and I've been tackling it all myself. When the builder was 'done', I was just left with bare stud walls, and open ceiling rafters. That's where I started to build up from. All the paneling in there is...

    Yep - the house is on the other side (detached). It has to go (as in, get demolished!). But that's another 2-3 years off at this time I think.

    Just went through a bunch of my pics, and realized what a crappy collection I have! Really need to take a few more. Well, here's an external shot of the long side. Anyone an ace at doing siding? That's next on the list now that it's warming up (structure construction got finished up mid...

    I'll post some up in a while. The place is a disaster area right now since I'm still moving everything into place. A lot of it's still in boxes, or dumped on the floor from lack of shelving being up etc! Yuck. Do you guys ever do get-together-meetups type things? Or are we all just too far...

    It was a good move. I'd had MORE than enough with the insanity there. 8km to work. Budgeted 1.5-2hrs in the morning to get there. The perpetual grey skies, and rain, and humidity... bleah. 50 years of that, it was time to go. 2.5 years here now. I'm just finishing off my sandbox to play in...

    Machinery Foot Mounts Local?

    New guy here (but ancient to the planet in general ;) ). I've been searching around for the best value on some feet for my 12x24 gear head/engine lathe as well (ie, heavy!!). Went the Amazon route (what a scam - they get you to buy ONE for like $9, then they're 4X that when it come back in...
