• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • 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!

Good Day from the mighty metropolis of Sooke

I'm another retired hobbyist type with a new toy. I started playing with a Sears 109 a couple of years ago (inherited from my grandfather) moved up to an Atlas 618, then to a Logan 400 that I reconditioned and now I have a SM 9" Utilathe. The gear box and power feeds are a definite step up. I made a new cross slide nut this afternoon and next is the screw to go with it.
Not sure how much I will be able to contribute but I'll do what I can to pay back what I learn from the site.

Thanks for the welcome folks.
Tom - will Roy be wearing his Sookabilly flannel tuxedo or is he from away?

Well he’s never left BC we all grew up in Victoria so I’d say the Sookabilly flannel tuxedo.
Just my brother and I came out here looking for work due to Victoria’s Newley weds and nearly dead theme!
I might be coming out that way apperantly there is a Wedding invite in the mail.
