    E transfer payment reversed?

    I’ve never had issues. But I also don’t consider a transaction complete until I get the message that it has been auto deposited. However, I’ve had that confirmation take as much as an hour. I still feel confident using e-transfer.

    I wanted to make a smart ass remark, but I’m getting ready to go out and shovel our most recent foot of snow, here in Eastern Ontario.

    CA-ON Looking for Brass rod in Ottawa

    I didn’t miss the shipment, FedEx always drops it at my door. Due to a series of unlucky timings, my parcel didn’t get onto a FedEx truck for 6 days. Once it was on the truck, it arrived the next day. I have spoken to the guy about picking it up but that doesn’t really work. His Brick&Mortar...

    CA-ON Looking for Brass rod in Ottawa

    Mine arrived finally arrived on Wednesday. A little disappointing, considering they are less than an hour away. It was just an unlucky alignment of timing with FedEx. Really solidly packaged. I may take a drive up there in a couple of weeks. I haven’t been there since last year.

    CA-ON Looking for Brass rod in Ottawa

    I just checked MetalPros in Ottawa, and they are $25.18/ft @John Conroy Those are good prices on eBay. If I’m not mistaken, that is the same guy from Cardon Tools in Perth. Even with shipping, it’s under $20/ft. I guess I’m going eBay. Not usually a fan, but oh well. Thanks

    Thanks. You should try Brockville. LOL I have a couple of pieces of 1-1/4, but can’t bring myself to cut that much off. 3/4 would work great also.

    Diamond drag tool

    These bits are not designed to rotate. Spinning it and running it through metal will destroy it. I used to do pantograph engraving when I was in the army, I tried this once, thinking to get deeper marks, and destroyed my last diamond point. Took me two weeks to get another in, which did not...
