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!

My garage has two single overhead doors with a beam running front to back supported by a post about 10’ from the front of the garage. To get more wall space I built a wall from the post to the front wall.
The planning process for the carriage house forced me to rethink organizing a garage space.
Because we planned a single overhead garage door I intended to put the metal shop at the front in a space above 11’ deep by 18 ft wide next to the overhead door and the woodworking area at the back with a wall separating the spaces.
I put digital pen to electronic paper and came up with a new layout for the existing garage.
Started by taking down the wall.
Total chaos but it will get better.

Nice place! But the kicker is the garage painted to match the truck. @YotaBota, what do you think about the colour?I can’t sufficiently express my opposition to this idea.
Context: former horse owner and the upkeep and expense is insane.
Then there’s the fact that the kids have zero interest in horses.
Now if you said horsepower then this place is the ticket.

Thank you! That is a relatively early serial number after they adopted the 'Peace sign' logo so probably 1973-1974? My G-18862 is the only one so badged that I've run across that has an earlier serial number.
Does it have the original motor? Probably a tag similar to this (from G-22753):
