  • 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!

    Self-Clearing Customs

    Not a lot of first hand experience. But the first thing to determine is it worth your time and gas money. You'll need to visit a CBSA office in person. Plus you will need to go to the UPS/Fedex depot usually in person. Unless you live in close proximity to both of those. Might not be worth the...

    Car Rust

But if you really want to stop in from getting worse you need to grind away all the rust and post treat with...

    Tool Lathe files

    The details say they are in a pack of three. So per unit isn't bad. If they are a 3 pack that is.

    Cool Tools in your home shop that you'd not likely not see in someone else's?

    Cool Tools in your home shop that you'd not likely not see in someone else's?

    After my father in law passed away, I inherited most of his tools. Kept a wrench set of his. This is the biggest one. Hangs above the man door to the garage. I have no practical reason to keep it. But it's just too awesome not too keep.
