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.

    Adhesive lined heat shrink tubing

    Adhesive lined heat shrink tubing

    I used to use adhesive lined heat shrink all the time when I was doing a lot of wiring in yachts. I believe it was all from Ancor, the marine wire supplier. It is a quality product. I probably got enough left to do me for as long as I can use it. Don't know for sure where to get it any more...

    Shop I finally found an apron to wear in the shop.

    In the cooler weather I usually wear a shop coat , but now that we have these long hot summers the shop coat is too warm. I have been looking around for an apron that does not have pockets. When I wear my shop coat the lower pockets start to fill up with swarf and I have to hang them upside down...
