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!
Anybody want anything from Ontario?

74’ of steel
I forget who asked but it is cold rolled to shape. No heat. The lead hand I asked said they used to cold roll form 1/2” steel years ago, but that part of the operation has been moved since then

So the cannon and “come and take it” is a banner that was actually fought under. The Mexican army attacked a Texas town to try and take back a cannon. The Texans rallied under that banner and fought back.
The tooling on that saddle is incredible.
Little newer firearm, a .308 AR purchased by the Rangers
A drum fed shotgun
And a tear gas billy club. I don’t know what that is.
Man so much to see.

I can’t deliver until Monday morning so I’m a tourist today. When I was down here last trip the Mammoth National Park was open, but not the dig site. They opened that last week sooooo......
That’s a real dig site of a Columbian mammoth.

Not so much anymore but earlier on I used to get to go on a work conference or two. Once I was in Boston for a few days during a real cold spell. Got to go outdoor ice skating in the oldest national park in the US, Boston Common. I still regard that as one of the neatest things I’ve able to do. I guess I don’t get out much....

What do you want to know?
Not important. Just curious as to why you blanked the tags out is all.
