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!

Has an almost evil look about it. Does the owner have horns?

Nice proportions. Is the handle ends also a bottle opener?
I have some gifts to make for some friends shortly and was thinking some nice forged BBQ tools might be appreciated. Still undecided.

Yes, it is a BBQ multi-tool and doubles as a bottle opener. It was a great project because it incorporated a lot of funamental skills, such as splitting, drawing tapers and punching holes. I found necking down the ends without using my guillotine tool to help keep things centered to be particularly challenging.

Yes, there are a few fundamental blacksmith skills involved in that simple shape. I think it came out great.

Prolly does a mean colonoscopy too. I think my doc has a clone of that thing. Don't forget that prions (mad cow disease) can survive being sterilized.
