  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

    Kennedy 8 Drawer: Did I do OK?

    Tecnico’s First Mill

    Nice taste in mills, lol, I have a First LC1-1/2TM as well! No power feed yet, but was still thankful for the deal I got on mine too. You got a nice haul of tooling with yours, nicely done! I bought a copy of the manual from lathes.co.uk, so if you need any info, PM me and I can look it up...

    New vise jaw product

    I have to admit, when I first heard the term 'yak shaving' the first thoughts that ran through my mind were relating to Ren & Stimpy, from when I was a teenager, lol

    Is it another technology? Yes? Good!

    Welcome here, cool that you do weaving too. My Mom is part of her local weaving guild and I made her a couple shuttles from wood and metal a couple years ago. There is a LOT to weaving, looks interesting but I've already fallen down a couple rabbit holes and lack the time for another one, lol!
