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!

Fascinating. Interesting to think on the one hand that people like the Wright brothers made their engines themselves from scratch in their own workshop (which some hobbyists still do), and that the basic concept of these engines - piston driven, internal combustion of fossil fuel - has not changed in well over 150 years, it has merely been refined.
Where's the sub-miniature fusion powered engine for my flying car?!
And uploading all that stuff to Google Cloud? If I were an industrial spy I'd be all over that.

Pretty incredible really.

That was a great video. I’ve never seen deposition on Aluminium blocks to make the cylinders.
Interesting the maintenance they need to do to keep their injection moulds for the crankcase accurate.
I sure would hate being one of the humans that gets to install the same widget day in/day out.
