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!

    CA-ALL 3" Round brass stock source?

    I have used the cast iron flywheels from Martin models a few times. They look real nice once you get them machined up and painted.

    About a week ago I had a different problem possibly related to some of the posts earlier in this thread. Thought it was about time I donated because I am really enjoying this forum and there appears to be a great bunch of guys here. I put it through on Paypal. I looked like it went through but...
