Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

Thank you for your comments!
I think it is difficult for me to explain clearly, I have an internal retirement, basically no pension, so I am free, I can have time to do what I like, but because of the interference of other factors, I can not spend all the time playing machine tools. Let's just say I spend most of my free time doing these things!
There is also some time to surf the Internet or use software to draw, design, roughly speaking, my average day in the shop and machine tool dealing time is about 5 hours or more, often ending after 10 PM. I think my skills are common and require more study. The result of lack of courses is that many operations are not standardized enough. Although I can finish them eventually, I may waste more time or materials in other places.
Nice welding cart you’ve made!
Although I currently still have the associated interference of having to go to work. Double interference for me at the moment-LOL.
I suspect a lot of us are like that, we call them wives…
