• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • 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!

    printing homes

    There's a company with ties to Nelson BC that's built some 3d printed concrete homes and also some public playground infrastructure in the area. I dunno. On top of having concerns around embodied carbon, these concrete structures seem less strong than typically form-poured concrete. I'm not...

    Some people just like big expensive rocks

    I still find it a bit grim, but I'm glad to hear it was for a good cause.

    Some people just like big expensive rocks

    "Hey, check it out - I took these rocks from this tragic event where 90 people lost their lives!" People are weird. But the slide site itself - yeah, definitely worth a visit. I drive through a few times a year, and almost feel like I should be holding my breath while driving through Frank. The...

    Steady rest

    My understanding was that new machines were/are still being manufactured in Canada and available for purchase. For example, here at Penn tool co. Also, that Leblond out of the US was handling service parts. https://leblondusa.com/standard-modern-lathes-s-m/ Your comments about eye-watering...

    IF you haven't already done so, get your dogs on their seasonal tick prevention

    We just got the same reminder today, but um... for our kid... Not sure these chewables' liver flavour is going to go over well with the kiddo. (kidding...)

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    Gotta admit, the cynic in me is just imagining the vendor sending the same picture of that mill to all their customers past, present and future. But even in that case, it's pretty exciting just getting a new mill :) Given that it is indeed your mill, wow - I'm impressed with their level of...
