• 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!

    Hello from Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

    I have no suggestion Don except a possible protest campaign from the CHM membership. There's power in a small group of committed (and outraged) people.

    Hello from Nova Scotia

    Welcome from Stittsville ON. I spent a few years in Halifax and loved it. My beat was NS and PEI. If it weren't for the birth of our firstborn and my wife's desire to be closer to her Mom, in Ottawa, we would still be there.

    Hello from Pangnirtung, Nunavut.

    Welcome from another Don. About 20 years ago, I hiked in Auyuittuq National Park on the Cumberland Peninsula with a buddy from Yellowknife. Closest I've been to your home. I'm happily retired in Ottawa and a new member learning a lot from this talented crew. I miss the smoked Arctic Char I used...
