• 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!

Hello everyone!
New to the forum here. I'm in Calgary and working F/T as a machinist. I'm a journeyman and have been in the trade for a little over a decade now.

I'm fairly new to the city and have yet to meet anyone who machines as a hobby out of their home shop.

I'd sure like to meet up with some folks and see some of your home shop set ups! Even when I'm done working, I just want to be in the machine shop. Maybe I could help you out with a project or maybe you could teach me some new tricks! Just looking to be in the shop, having fun. That's what it's all about.
Cheers!
 
Hey that is great to hear. I am also a redseal certified machinist and i have been working in the energy sector in AB for just about 9 years. Im looking forward to meeting you.
