• 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!

Inspired by @Chicken lights post about beacons, I HAD to add a small one to my RC Lawn Mower. I guess I was baffled why all the ladies in the hood still weren't coming over to chat to me with this chick-magnet of a lawn mower. Then it occured to me—I need a beacon. Yeah...that will reel them in.

And for what it's worth, the patterns change when shorted to ground, not positive, on mine as well.

I so want to build one. I have put on the list of things of must have and not the wants list.
 
For some reason this thread reminded me of Rodney Dangerfield's character in the movie Caddy Shack:D
 
I think the isolation is getting to us,,,o_O

Yaa think so??? I spent Friday welding up a bird bath stand out of rebar. The horror, the horror.

In my case welding amounts to the electrical deposition of metal in a random pattern. She ain't pretty:oops:
