  • 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!

    Whisk(e)y, wine and cheese!

    Similar to that, I had some moonshine once that was put in a peanut butter jar that still had some residual left. It was delicious. I've also tried some with apples in it, and a watermelon as well. All dangerously tasty lol. Despite liking that peanut butter one, I have still yet to try that...

    3DP pens

    My Son got one for Christmas. Pretty neat, limited uses though, But not terribly expensive if you want to pick one up and play around with it for various duties to see if it'll work how you want. I was kinda hoping I could use it to repair 3d prints for patterns, or build up features on...

    Slitting saw info

    Long Shot

    Give Reg Akers at Akers autoglass in Bowmanville a call. Great guy. If he doesn't have the parts, he probably knows where to get them. Been around a long time, with a great reputation. I don't know the first thing about windshields, or windshield repairs, but I know Reg does, and that's who...

    Whisk(e)y, wine and cheese!

    Can't speak it, can barely understand it. But if a beautiful Woman starts speaking to me with that southern Drawl, I start melting like warm butter. Same with a thick Irish accent.....They get me everytime.
