• 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!

    Words of caution - STOP sending me SALES e-mail

    There's an unsubscribe link at the bottom of almost all of these emails, just do that, it works 95% of the time....obviously be mindful of phishing when doing it, but any legit business it's a requirement to have an unsub link.

    Something off with Vevor

    Link to item with delivery? It's likely not shipped by amazon if it doesn't come with free shipping with prime. I've had free delivery on some insane things, including items that have arrived freight like my 56" SPG International tool box lol

    Peavey Mart Closing

    Yeah, I stopped in my usual one yesterday....spent $150 and cleared out a ton of their loose bolt selection to stock my stuff back up where I could, but things were already getting bare.

    Peavey Mart Closing

    I've never seen stores going out of business put limits on anything...why would they? They want everything gone as fast as possible for the most money possible. This is why they'll start at 30% (which is actually surprisingly high) and probably end up at 50% after a month or two when the good...

    Peavey Mart Closing

    People will get fed up with something Amazon does, their prices will get too high, or whatever, and another competitor will spring up in their place. It's like cable tv/blockbuster to netflix or satellite radio/cds to spotify...and now people are getting fed up with streaming companies and...

    Peavey Mart Closing

    I didn't have a measuring tape to check, but sure looked the same size as my Q tank (I guess they have different names for their sizes?) but I said 80cf and he said yup. Guy was really nice and not sleazy sales either, so seemed legit and I've had amazing service/fair prices as a walk in DIY guy...

    Peavey Mart Closing

    Stopped at Air Liquide in Cambridge this afternoon to ask about bottles...they said as long as they aren't stamped on the neck with Praxair or similar that they'd take them in for bottle swaps in the exact same way as Peavey Mart was doing. Checked my 3 bottles, none of them have brand stamps on...
