  • 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!

    I didn't think it was quite that simple, but that's cool to hear your input on the premise. I'm skirting the politics rule here but his first term I said and will continue to say, you can't just snap your fingers and open a steel mill. Re-open or otherwise. Which echos your post There was...

    @BMW Rider im not seeing one with a clutch like yours you posted, do you use the clutch often? do you end up buying longer drive bits for working on stuff? or can you get driver extensions? I'm used to screwdrivers and having different lengths

    I'm going to look into the screwdriver @BMW Rider posted, but as it takes a different battery than what I own I'm not locked into that direction. Like @kevin.decelles mentioned, once you have some batteries and tools in one colour, it makes sense to stay with that colour

    Exactly this. One CBSA officer I asked said the rules keep changing so fast they can't keep up, to enforce them. I've heard of one load of straw that got dinged $1900 at the booths, and a load of grain that got dinged $2200. The dumb part of the grain load was the NY farmer questioned why HE...
