• 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!

Welcome Mr Blair ?
Lots of experience and viewpoints from machinists, metal fabricators and process specialists.
I started as a machinist apprentice, became a machinery designer and a project manager.

Did you work for Chives Snow Plows ?
My wife’s family is from the Teviotdale area and still has friends out there.

I'd love to be an apprentice, but economically can't afford to, next best plan is to learn and eventually work up the courage to challenge the test.

And yeah! Currently employed by cives, it's been an incredible opportunity, specially since they hired me when I had no experience, but there has been some wild events for sure.
 
Live and Learn, that is to key to a fulfilling career.
Experiences will drive your decisions about the kind of work you do.
As long as you are learning, life is progressing.
