• 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!

    What keeps me busy (Picture heavy)

    Realistically my fall was entirely to blame on the boots and my extreme lack of grace. [emoji14] But it severed every ligament in my shoulder and actually sheared a chunk of bone off the back of the humerus. So I reserve the right to be a huge pansy scaredy-cat. I'll for sure keep the pics...

    What keeps me busy (Picture heavy)

    Looks awesome, @Jwest7788 ! Funny story about epoxied floors though; many years ago I dislocated my right shoulder mountain-biking. After that it came out more often than I would have liked, but I was always able to just shove it back in (much to everyone else's disgust) But then one day I was...

    You don't need kids to not have enough time, so I can't even imagine what it's like WITH kids. [emoji14] How has the process been? Relatively straight-forward or a pain? Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

    Weld beads might be a bit thick and hard, I'd probably just try layering different types of sheet steel together. You could even throw in some scraps from the plasma table. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

    Damascus Steel

    Cool, I'm excited to see how it turns out. I think most guys use acid as a finishing step after the knife is fully formed to have the lines show up more as well. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

    Haha! If you weren't such a dirty-stinkin' good for nothin' Stamps fan I'd have nothing but respect for you! ;) [emoji14] Keep us updated on this, I can't wait to see what you do! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

    Damascus Steel

    I don't mean to be discouraging at all (if you make your own you will be my hero) but damascus seems like one of those things that is worth buying rather than making. [emoji14] You'll need a forge and a power-hammer (unless you're completely nuts) and it takes a lot of folds to get a good look...

    Ewwww! My mother and sister are lousy Stamps fans. Mostly because of the horse, and because they had the hots for Doug Flutie and now for Cornish. GO ESKIES!!! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk
