• 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!

I have a small residential metal shop in NW Calgary (Tuscany), mostly as a hobby, but I do some paid work. MIG, TIG, stick, CNC plasma cutting, hydraulic bending, ring and tube rolling, magnetic brake, slip roll, some lathe and small millwork (but am not very good at this stuff as it is too finicky for me). Mostly I focus on small artistic stuff and inventing. (Also a electronics geek-- Arduino, etc).
 
Welcome to the forum!

Must be quite the shop to get all that done!

Looking forward to having you around.

:) Thanks. It's a great shop....my wife has me on a 12 Step Program (for tools). I think I could build a battleship if needed....I just have no where to put it.

Cheers.

LOL! Same here ... was going to buy something on an auction today but figured out I have zero space for anything in the garage. Need to buy a house with bigger garage ;)

HA Ha.. Just saw this. I believe you mean a bigger garage with a smaller house, right?
 
Yeah, much bigger garage. I am now building a little steel forest to make it appear like I am not having scarp in the backyard. No idea where to put the large band saw I need. Maybe outside in front of the garage.
