  • 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!

    Good to hear, John. Thanks! I was just going to get a Mr. Heater from PA, but with the lousy Canadian dollar puts them at nearly $800 now. This was $950 +tax, so seemed like the way to go. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

    Today I finished up the insulation and got started on the vapor barrier! I need to get all the insulation scraps out of here so I can have an easier time moving everything around to get at the areas that still need poly. So far I have poly on the whole back wall, and the back 8' of the ceiling...

    Thanks, Peter! I will be going with a gas heater, you can see my beautiful new Reznor in the second post. I looked into the infrared radiant heaters as well, but my ceiling is too low for it. From everything I read and was told I would get cooked if I was working in front of it. In response to...

    With the trench in, it was on to electrical. Got everything installed and up to Canadian Electrical Code, Inspection time! ...Inspection fail? Turns out that even though you're up to (or in places even beyond) the electrical code, you have another hoop to jump through: Epcor owns the power-lines...

    Alright, I thought I'd show you guys why I don't ever seem to post any projects. :p Apologies in advance for the crappy cell-phone photos. Right now I'm working on my garage, getting it up to snuff to use as a shop. When I bought my house the garage had a couple of incandescent bulbs and a...
