  • 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 Selkirk MB
I am a retired millwright, hobby machinist, welder etc.
Looking forward to meeting other hobbyists online
I have 12" Asian lathe, basic mill drill, and mig , gig and
 
This is the first Canadian based group that I have found to date, it will be nice to trade stories about Busybee and Princess auto instead of harbor freight and the likes.
I am a big fan of the videos of doubleboost , Abom79,Tom Lipton and the likes.
Has anyone gone to the model engineering expo at Estevan SK in October, believe me it is great!

Welcome from Vancouver Island. You will appreciate this site as compared to the US ones. (at least the ones I have visited). Less condemnation for work that doesn't impress retired NASA engineers.

Never been to Estevan, but live in Portage la Prairie, and went to Austin Thresherman days a couple times. A few model engines and the like, but mostly the real thing. Pretty awesome! I would highly recommend if they are running again this summer.
 
Welcome from SK. Been meaning to take in the Estevan expo but life always seems to interfere.
