• 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!

Hey all!


It's great to be a part of a community focused on a trade I have been wanting to ad to my list of skills.

Just starting out with welding and trying to locate a decent benchtop mill to help fabricate some things. Any leads would be helpful!

As for my skills I've been in the trades for 30 years. The largest chunk of that was plumbing. Everything from repair, reno, commercial, off the grid and developing world projects. I have worked mostly in the USA, but also Africa, Central and South America and the Caribbean. The second biggest chunk of my career has been in property/facility maintenance management. I am hands on familiar with framing, electrical (and electronics), HVAC and site work.

I am a lifelong mystic and musician. I enjoy nature especially the ocean. Other interests include Ham radio, skateboarding and martial arts.

Thanks to all for creating a place to learn and share ideas and experiences!

Cheers

Glen
