• 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 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!

    Yeah, This is a common theme with website issues, not just this forum, but across many that I have a hand in managing. Many issues are only a subset of users, different devices, browser, versions, operating systems and their versions. It's a gong-show and mixed bag.

    New Feature 2022 Updates

    Hello Everyone, I hope all is well with each of you. Our Admins had a great meeting last week! It ran much longer than usual and as a result, we did manage to make a healthy number of decisions, most of which have been implemented now. Here's the change log: 1) The Learning Library has been...

    Rules How to contribute - Example

    Kindly written and donated by @CalgaryPT, below is a reference writing guideline for the learning library. While the below guideline focuses on tool reviews, it serves as a great reference of the quality of content which is required to publish content to the learning library. All content...

    Yeah, I am not one to hide behind the "slippery slope" defence, but it has always felt like a line in the sand. However, when you put it that way, it does shift perspective a bit. Yeah. Incorporation is also on the admin's consistent talking list, another line in the sand, I suppose. Yeah, I...

    Wherever possible, solutions that better distribute administrative load off admins will have the best chance of surviving long-term. I like this idea for that reason. and We're not likely to implement auto deletion of any content, as others have noted, storage *space* isn't a major issue. We...

    Hello from America

    I could see positioning this group as targetting Canadians and Canadian-Spirited folks i.e. Future Canadians: --> Somewhere between poutine and free healthcare to fix poutine-induced health concerns, anyone could be at risk of becoming Canadian one day. haha

    Hello from America

    Thanks for the shout-out @CalgaryPT , Yeah, when this forum was first started, I was already frequenting another well-known 'hobby machinist' focused forum and was aware of other players in the space. The Canadian focus actually even started smaller. At the very very beginning, this was...

    Images Not Displaying Today

    Okay, well, I am going to call the image one resolved, since I can't see it. @Tom O , that Ipad thing is tricky to attempt to fix, as the website expands and contracts to fit any screensize. Less common screensizes sometimes have that sort of odd look, but to fix it for Ipad, it would break the...
