  • 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!

    4140 crankshaft modifications - propeller hub build

    At first I thought huh? I didn't know they had separate brake pedals....... Then I realized they must be coupled to the rudder. How does that work? How does it maintain good feedback in the air while still providing variable braking on land? Or do the brakes only start to engage at full rudder?

    They also sell flexible honing balls. Balls of abrasive stone on spring wires. You can mount them on a drill at the end of a hex shaft. The springs let them ride along without removing any more material than wanted. This is just an example. You can get the grit size and working diameter you...

    Good logic. But too late. Already took the risk and cut a half acre or so. Supposedly, my Hog will handle 3" trees. I decided against that and limited the adventure to 2" trees. If that PTO shaft had any tightness still remaining, it doesn't anymore (he says with a defiant aire of false...

    I started this task yesterday at noon. At 6pm today, I finally beat it! Had to use my farm jack, 3 big crow bars, a bunch of 4 x4s and two 8x8 Blocks, my 4x4 ATV, my bucket to act as a creeper, and a new dictionary of swear words never before uttered in Canada. But I got it. Now..... Do I go...

That worked for me in an image I was trying to generate for our last Ontario Meetup. It will have to...

    Heavy sweat sessions??? That's for young guys. At my age, it's all slow and easy. That reminds me of a short story. A farmer needs to breed his cows. So he rents 2 bull's. When he opens the trailer, the young bull bellows "Look at that hot heifer over there! I'm gunna thunder over there and...

    My dad used to say that the best exercise to do to lose weight was to do push backs from the kitchen table. That doesn't work for everyone, but it's pretty darn effective for most of us.
