Sometimes in the summer here, it rains or the mosquitos get hungry. Good to have an indoor project or 18 to do when that happens.

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!

It certainly is great having winter hobbies, I look forward to each winter and my workshop time!!!
In September when I moved the lathe downstairs, there were times I was wishing I’d stuck with my original plan for a small lathe… That was challenging.
Yes, summers are too short not to spend outside. We have an unfinished cottage which is great, there are always projects to do & keep me from making trouble (According to my wife…)
