  • 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!

    Rhino 8 users?

    Contact them about upgrading. ASAIK they will take any previous version for a cheaper upgrade to current. If you're still on file, you don't even need the physical copy. As cheap as it is at full price (worth every penny IMO), that makes it even cheaper. I took an even cheaper route, and...

    Rhino 8 users?

    Yes, but it's a paid add on. I've never used Rhinocam (visual cam), but have used MADCAM, another paid (cheaper) add on. I'm considering buying one of the two, but will hold off a while until I have some projects queue'd up where I can demo them properly inside the free window. Madcam seems...

    Rhino 8 users?

    I know there are a few Rhino users here, just wondering if there is anybody else using V8? I just upgraded from V5 the other day, and have been tooling away at the new features checking them out, and holy crap what a leap forward in a few areas and I haven't even dug that deep yet. The...

    New to me 6"Jointer

    I had a couple woodworking role models in my life growing up that were missing a few digits so that was a lesson I learned early lol. One was a sawmill, the other a Radial arm saw. The jointer was always the one tool I respected more than the others though. RAS is fine if you use it as...

    Best Product to Use for Fillets and Curves in a Simple Aluminum Pattern

    I have not done lost PLA, but I did do an experiment a few years ago with a rough and raw PLA print with ZERO prep, straight into the greensand as a pattern and was pleasantly surprised by the results. They're not "great", but they're honestly not as bad as I thought they would be. The sole...

    Beaver wood bandsaw - $250 - Toronto, On

    I laugh about the option for a 6" riser block for my 14" delta. Falls under the category of just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I'm sure under the right circumstances there are people out there that love it though.....

    Splined coupler

    If you could find a cheap scrap lower end from an outboard motor with prop you'd get enough of a spline shaft and female section on the prop side. Might be worth a call around to some local marinas to see if you can volunteer to clean up some junk for them......To them it's scrap, and next to...
