  • 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!

    Still looking for a lathe ! What do you think ?

    Easy to make any missing ones! In fact, not all lathes can cut all threads. They always seem to miss the one you need next! Just identify the gear parameters, buy the appropriate gear cutters, and cut your own. Also, don't assume that your lathe can't cut the thread you want. Sometimes it just...

    How would you do this?

    You did what I did. The only difference is that I added some loktight gap filler to make sure the sleeve and pulley didn't move. Looking at your motor and pulley, might even be the same application. I enjoyed reading what others suggested too. So, thanks for posting.

    I don't think it's the fractions that make something imperial. After all, I routinely use quantities like a quarter kilometer or a half centimeter, and I also routinely use tenths, hundredths and thousandths of an inch etc. I believe it's the units of measure that define both imperial and...

    Ya, that's pretty much what I do. Depending on the weather and weather forecasts, I delay working and planting the productive areas as much as practical to allow acceptable germination and then I live with whatever happens to the clay at that time. The weather bitch blows holes in the plan...

    Just about perfectly describes that part of my farm. Now if you could just describe the perfect timing in words that a blind shaky old man can understand ...... I never seem to get it right. My worst field is only about 9 acres. But that 9 acres has sandy soil here, gravel there, loam along two...

    Rain in Edmonton

    This is difficult for me to comprehend. I've both laid new drainage tile and repaired existing tile. Miles of it. Normally the clay forms a non-permiable unpenetrable boundary layer about 18-24" down. When you dig it up, it is like frangible slate rock. Nothing can pass through it. It's dry as...
