  • 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!

    Making A Front Stock For A Rifle

    I finished it last night and fitted the new stock. I made a 1/4"-28 screw to hold the stock in place. I clamped the screw between two pieces of hardwood to cut the slot. The finished product. A trip to the range as soon as the rain stops to see how it shoots.

    I was at the grocery store the other day and couldn't find the cat food. I stopped an employee and asked where it was. "I'll see", she replied and walked away, and never came back! Eventually I did find it though. It was in Aisle C.
