• 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 Nova Scotia

Hello @Upnorth and welcome to the group!

We have a few "local" members if you call Yarmouth, Lunenburg & HRM local!

I'm located just outside the city. My father's family came from just south of Yarmouth so that territory is familiar.

What are you making with the machine tools, fun projects or are they earning their keep?

The plan was for them to earn their keep but that has not worked out too well. I do use them to make tools for my self employment job but that has been quite slow since covid. I do dome fun projects but those I consider to be for improving my machining skills for when something that pays comes along.
 
Welcome from Stittsville ON. I spent a few years in Halifax and loved it. My beat was NS and PEI. If it weren't for the birth of our firstborn and my wife's desire to be closer to her Mom, in Ottawa, we would still be there.
