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!

Ohhhhh ya! Nothing beats plate!
That’s the back of it.
I bought a 3’x3’ sheet of 1/8” plate about three years ago and finally am making it useful.
There appears to be a bar across the front near the bottom? You won't be able to push the tool chest in....
Sorry I’m going to build a chest of drawers.
Showoff!
That’s to replace the broken cast bracket.
I'm thinking a 3/4" birch ply carcase with a middle divider. Drawers from 1/2" birch. I have a bunch of 18" 100# capacity full extension drawer slides.

Paint on a project right away? I thought you were supposed to let them acclimatized for a few years.
I don't paint anything till my wife owes me a huge favour.
Rust has an amazing patina.

If you call it red oxide, it sounds fancier.

I had a welding instructor that used to say "anything worth making is worth painting" He thought it wasn't finished if it didn't have paint on it. I tend to agree with him.

Put the word primer after it and you are done.....
We are certainly different then! My version is that anything you are proud of should not be hidden under layers of paint!!!
Of course, that belief has to be tempered by the fact that I absolutely despise painting. Painting is right up there with getting an enema or a colonoscopy! Nah, actually it's worse than that - it's like getting a frontal lobotomy using a eurethral endoscope with a rotary boring mechanism.
