• 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!

    PM Research Unmachined Casting Kits

    Didn't mean to come across as offensive. While I don't think too many are getting rich from their channels, there is a minority who do flog promotional products without identifying that these were freebies from manufacturers. It's unethical and I don't watch those channels either.

    PM Research Unmachined Casting Kits

    I am also a youtube fan and have been watching for 10+ years. The creators put in a lot of work for little reward. The videos I watch are meant to educate firstly, then entertain. Unless they have 100's of thousands of viewers, the money is not great. There is a lot of work to make a...

    regarding Canaweld welders

    Well, I would never have guessed there were welders made in Canada, but their website claims the machines are designed, assembled, tested and packaged in Canada. Actually in Vaughn, On, a couple hours south of me. I may have to pop in next time I am in the city, although my ancient Lincoln...

    I learned something today

    There must be some god in charge of this sort of thing 'cause when draining just about any sort of sump or gearbox, it doesn't seem to matter how well I plan in advance or what precautions I take - I end up with oil all over the shop floor.

    Minnie Traction Engine (1" scale)

    Looks fantastic - hope you keep posting. Now the pressure is on "us guys" who also poke in here and don't have much of a project to show off. LOL.

    Collet Box

    I made something similar at Christmas for my wife's fine cutlery. Made it out of old barn boards, but my wife doesn't seem to like it and won't use it. Maybe I should transition it to hold lathe tools. LOL.

    Water Soluble Cutting Fluid?

    Nice purchase. Good luck with them. I am sure many of us would be interested in any follow up once they are set up and put through the paces.
