  • 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!

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.

    Our Motorcycles - Post What You Got

    I'm happy to see I'm not the only one with multiple bikes. Just for reference in case anyone is not aware of the formula for the correct number of bikes to own it is: X+1, X being the number you currently own.

    Our Motorcycles - Post What You Got

    Planning a trip up to Tuk next summer with a buddy of mine from BC. We've had it on the bucket list for a couple years too, but the world had other plans. I'm also going down to Chile, leaving next week, and going on a group tour down to Ushuaia. The goal is to reach the top and bottom rideable...

    Metal Straightedge

    I used my circular saw on a shop made guide track for years to rip down sheet goods into manageable sizes for finish cutting on the table saw. I finally upgraded to a Makita track saw a couple years ago and the difference is incredible. Much easier to use, has excellent dust collection with the...

    A few jokes

    But 77 is better than 69 because you get eight more.

    What pocket knife do you carry?

    Not my every day pocket knife, but it was my dad's fishing knife. The original stacked leather handle was badly rotting away and the blade was pretty rusty, so I went at it and fixed it up as a keepsake. It lives on the book shelf in the basement family room now. My daily carry is just a Swiss...
