• 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 from Down Under

Another Vancouver Island welcome. You may have noticed we enjoy banter, sarcasm and general poking fun at each other, please make yourself at home and join in.
Oh, and once in a while some serious hobby machining makes it's way into the discussion. It's like going to the fights and having a hockey game break out. lol
 
A welcome from Abbotsford ,B.C. My wife and I have done 2/3s of the lap of Aus. My wife still reads the Gibb River Road group. YotaBota is very correct, we do like to have fun.
 
Welcome from Ontario Farm Country. Must be a pain being upside down all the time down under.

On the bright side, drilling a hole to China doesn't work at all for you. Seems you would come out in the Sargasso Sea (Bermuda Triangle) SE of the USA. Might explain a few things......

Glad you joined us. Enjoy the forum.
 
Welcome from Lillooet BC.....
I have a machining related question for you..... Which way do your chips curl off the lathe? I know your toilets spin backwards and you drive on the wrong side of the road, so it naturally got me to thinking.... :rolleyes:
Not sure what @YotaBota is yammering on about, we're a pretty serious lot around here. :p
