• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. 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!

    Vapor barrier has been finished for a while, but I got distracted by other projects (machining for other people, snowblower repairs, lathe tear-down...) but now drywalling has begun!

    Hi, I'm Matt from Calgary

    Cool, Matt! I actually used to sell dirtbikes, ATVs, sleds, trailers, etc. With your welding capabilities I'd make a trailer dolly with good sized pneumatic tires then moving it loaded will be even less issue (if you start to get lazy like me) I will probably ask more questions than you can...

    Yeah, that should work too, hard-plating would just look cleaner I think. Plus it would be easier to keep features like the Hardy hole. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

    Yeah, most you see are way too much. I saw about $6/lbs for one that was so beat it was barely recognizable. Broke horn, all edges chipped off, etc. If you know anyone who does hard-plating I've heard of guys hard-plating the top of an anvil or what they'll use for an anvil, then...

    You can do propane or nat. gas forges, if you want a coal forge you need a blower. Using the coals as they are will heat the material up, but forcing oxygen through them will heat them to the level you're hoping for. A lot of guys have made them with a brake-drum, some black-pipe, and a...
