• 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!

    @PeterT - yes, it will be a water/glycol system with a circulation pump and propane instant heater for heating the water mix. The mix will be probably a 40% ethylene glycol/water. Just one thermostat and 2 zones. I will put in a 3 zone manifold as I might put a radiator type zone in the wood...

    Hey Guys, So I have an iphone 15 and I have been trying - the camera mode seems to only allow a 12MP photo as the smallest. My only option is to download the pictures to my laptop or email them to myself at a reduced size, then go and add them. I can’t do this as easily as just posting from...

    Cleaning spraying gun after painting

    @Gennady : match the cleaner to the “paint” you have used. Lots of coatings are going water based. Doesn’t mean the coating is solvable in water, but water may be able to “clean” or reduce it. Oil paints can be typically cleaned out with reducer, turpentine, acetone…. For water based, latex...

    Eclipse

    There are a couple shots from New Brunswick. I shot a short video. The eclipse was not really my thing, got Miss Metric making chips and my saw mill tuned. The darkness from the eclipse slowed my hot tub soak - LOL
