  • 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!

    I agree with @Susquatch, Your explanation is difficult to understand but i believe i have a grasp of what you are trying to achieve Blocking is normally the same size as the joist, mostly to help with twisting of the joists, although not really a major concern here, that is typical standard...

    Unknown Welding Rods

    If it smells like a campfire and burns very harsh it's 6010/6011, the slag will be kind of airy for 6010, little less so with 6011, the weld with both will not be smooth 6013 will be more soft, weld will have a smoother appearance, and the slag will be denser and chip off in pieces That's...

    If you could own just one special vehicle what would it look like?

    I'd like to build something along these lines, not as extreme with the chop or lowering, with a turbo something, like 235 I6 to be different I was about half way through building a 27 t 12/15 years ago, but lost motivation, and even then I wanted a model A, ended up selling it, with some regrets

    4140 crankshaft modifications - propeller hub build

    yea its something like that, 22ft ish 6.4-6.5m, somewhere in that area thats with an insta360, it has a super wide angle lens, it is small, but not that small. I could zoom in and cut the wing tips off in editing and it wouldn't look so small, the wide angle also makes it look like the plane...
