  • 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!

Nice. Kind of glad to hear that it won't get chopped up. Mine was missing too much to try and restore. On my budget at the time anyway. I appreciate an original classic now more than I used to also.
There are some mods that I like such as the flat tracker-style or the classic British cafe style. But the majority of the cafe style or bobber bikes I see now don’t really do anything for me.
 
Spent a bunch of time building the stand for the mill over the weekend.
Will shoot a pic when it’s not 3000 degrees outside.
 
It was only 25 here today but flat roof shop with no roof insulation is brutal.
 
Mill stand.
I’ll build a drawer cabinet to slide into the bottom.

I’m a big fan of those casters.
They are on my welding table too.
Top Plate Leveling Casters with Adjustable Ratcheting Handle Design, Heavy Duty Workbench Equipment Swivel Casters with Enhanced Nylon Wheel - 2200 Lbs Capacity | GDR-60F, Pack of 4 https://a.co/d/22T0HbD

Those are good looking casters! I didn't see the detail in the photo, file that away for future reference....

I have one of these installed on the ceiling that’s piped to a roof vent I also have a control from Princess Auto for the temperature range control.

That’s a great idea!
I have one for exhaust from my lasers. I could temporarily disconnect it and use it to suck out hot air.

Just make sure your incoming air is actually cooler. Does not help the situation if it's coming off the hot asphalt in front of the doors....

Sometimes it's just easier to suck in cooler air from under some shade trees than it is to blow out hot air.
