  • 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!

    Shawn's plane projects

    In previous posts, I have found there is some interest in aircraft. As I venture into the rebuilding of mine, I thought I might post questions, comments or updates here. I don't know if there will be much machining oriented aspects, but one of the first projects is. The plane is a "taildragger"...

    Ot - Anyone with a Cricut?

    I have a Portrait. Same idea I think. It was a "gotta have" moment a couple of years ago, got it, tried it once, and now it sits. I still need to figure out how to use it. Would be great for labelling machine projects that I have made in the shop. Or maybe the upcoming instrument panel, or...

    Electric panel questions.

    lol...don't know. Sounds like we need a beer in your shop to discuss. I could find a dozen morale boosters for you. It is the season, after all...;)

    Electric panel questions.

    yep, I heard that too when that came into effect. Probably more to it than that if one gets into the details but that is the essence. The inspectors have been finding and busting a lot of non licensed guys doing work lately. They do look for it so if your friend did a great job, but yet seemed...

    Electric panel questions.

    Not sure of the specifics. I was told by the building yard that the blue is the new code, and the inspector backed it up. No one specified interior or exterior so I used it both. As you say, I think it is is stickier and thicker. That was my first thoughts when I started using it. @Darren I...

    Electric panel questions.

    I just noticed the red Tuck tape. Apparently, in Ontario, that is no longer code. We now have blue Tuck tape to meet the new code. Someone needed to justify their job I guess and ran out of code amendments so decided to change the tape colour. Good for another year or so before another decision...

    @Perry A 17 page thread.....don't think it is a "little project"...;) Congratulations on completing it (mostly)! Good perseverance on your part.

    Heading East! Ya Mule Ya!

    I guess @Brent H signature will be changing to "no fixed address" for a while, then "waaaay East of Barrie"... ;) ;)

    Precision Mathews TL Lathe

    I bought a new PM1236 PEP a couple of years ago. Not the TL series, but as for service, I think PM is great. I had a motor starting issue and they had a start capacitor in the mail to me immediately after receiving my question about the motor not starting in a higher gear. I said that maybe we...
