• 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.

  • 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!

    Some stuff needs a ride to Vancouver Island and Ontario.

    So what ever happened with @a smile ? You still in contact with him John? He sort of disappeared from the forum. Too bad. He was an interesting innovator and a regular forum contributor. Strange things happen in China sometimes. CW

    Unbox/setup and balance a new Baldor Grinder (after 42 years)

    Tool Let's Get This Started - Tool Test Tuesday

    @SomeGuy I like your 2 minute review concept for a single tool quick look. A nice switch-up from your regular videos. Comparing several tools in less than 10 minutes would be tough but in general i like the KISS approach. Your description/video of the Jorgensen mini wood plane was impelling...

    Hello!

    Welcoming Blondihacks to the forum drifting a bit to a “what whiskey do you like” discussion. So here is my 2 cents worth: Canada’s J P Wiser’s Triple Barrel (42.6%) is near the top of my list for great value. But my all time favourite goes to the Irish and IMO their best of the best is 21...
