  • 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!

    Little one day projects

    I made another luggage plate this week. This replaces the one that I'd made before to fit over the rear section of the seat attached to the grab rails. The original worked well but had a few drawbacks that I wanted to improve on. First was the need to mount my Rotopax fuel can to it, second was...

    Gerstner Tool Chests

    He's in the US and egg shortages due to bird flu have driven prices through the roof apparently. Not an issue up here... yet.

    Anyone going to the Calgary Motorcycle show?

    The show is a bit better than last years overall. More space with the adventure zone in its own area. Still lots of HD type gear which is not my style and a handful of non motorcycle related vendors. Still hit and miss with some of the brands not present including BMW.

    Gerstner Tool Chests

    If the wood is prone to warping, it means it is moving due to moisture (just uneven absorption on one side). If the wood is moving, then the cross grain piece will need to account and allow for the movement so the panel does not split. This is essentially a breadboard end which is never glued...

    Gerstner Tool Chests

    I like the idea of recessed finger pulls with the drop front. Knobs would need a larger gap for clearance and leave the drawers pushed further back into the box.

    Little one day projects

    This little project did have some metal work in it so figured I'd share it there. I was inspired to make myself a small square for use in woodworking using some brass flat bar I had on hand. Found a scrap of q-sawn white oak that was the right size. I figured it wasn't much more work to make two...

    Little one day projects

    This was more than a one day project, it took several one days. For quite some time I've wanted to rig up a power drive for to raise and lower the head on my CX601 mill since I have it set up on a work bench that makes it a bit of a reach to get to the crank handle. I've seen where someone...
