  • 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!

    Machining fun

    Hopefully you have a good pillow picker ( designer) . After 20 years of working with them, I have become very jaded. The good ones understand manufacturing has its challenges, and are receptive to changes or ideas. The others are hell bent on seeing their design the way they envision...

    Come on!!!! You gotta go for it! Think of it as manly yard art, if it doesn’t work out. I’d take that in a Shuswap minute to hide in the forest somewhere and watch the stories become legends. Lol!

    Excavator pins
