  • 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!

    Request to do a small machining job

    Having lived most of my adult life crossing back and forth across Canada's Baha, I did know that. As you say, it is kinda cool. Here is another one. Find Ontario's "Polar Bear Park" on the West shore of the Hudson Bay. Now follow the line of Latitude West through Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and...

    Drilling with the cross slide

    That is how I used to do metric threads. Today, I disengage the leadscrew and then I use the thread dial to engage the leadscrew at the same location. It's much easier for this old man to do that than it is leave the half nut engaged. Here is a full description of the method...

    I could not agree more. I'd much rather debate the merits of parting upside down.

    Huh? Why is what I said wrong? You say nope and then you say what I said! Shouldn't your "Nope" be "Yup".....

    I doubt I could get a pedal bike going more than 5kph for very long. That's plenty fast enough for me. I don't ride a street motorcycle anymore, but they regularly pass me on the highway going way over the 110kph speed limit.

    Everyone keeps confusing motorbikes with pedal bikes. Pretty sure @JustaDB was talking pedal bikes not motorcycles.

    Tips/Techniques Painter's Tape - the Swiss Army knife of tape

    My wife is the painter. She exclusively buys "Frog Tape" and swears buy it. Just make sure you only use it from the container and never put it anyplace else. I use it for my woodworking and smithing too. Awesome stuff.

    Really ?

    Depends on your definition of high speed. Had a guy in a truck DELIBERATELY push me off the highway into a forest. When the dust settled, I slowly moved each part of my body to see if they were still connected. No broken bones. Just lots of cuts and blood. Converted the bike to off road after...
