  • 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!

Hey!

Relatively recent addition to the forum. It’s been a few months of reading and learning.

Located in Calgary. Purchased a old, and albeit quite worn out lathe from an contact. Have to cut your teeth somehow.

Mainly making lower precision custom bike parts, but over time will be improving performance of my old 1954 Logan 200 lathe to be a decent machine.

Always on the lookout for a reasonable sized mill. I would appreciate any leads. Ideally stepping away from a post / drill mill but money talks and all options considered!

ha ha I'm a little slow this evening.

Pretty nice day out there today......I know this isn't going to last.
 
Motorized! It’s a parts bike comprised of 50’s, 60’S, 70’s and custom Harley Davidson

Currently it’s spacers, control knobs on the carb, bolts, etc. I have a list of items to do but also want to do a rear axle to tighten up the 50’s wheel a bit, etc. I’ll be needing some mild mill help for that just to make some flats.
