• 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!

Hi, I have been a mechanic for over 45 years and have been machining parts for many of those years. I live in Acme Alberta and was told about this site by Everitt from Spruce Grove after he subscribed to my YouTube channel. I look forward to chatting with many of you and hope I am not too old to learn new tricks LOL.
 
Welcome from Ontario farm country. I cut my teeth fixing stuff the same way you did. My mom likes to say that I showed her a better way to put in a diaper pin. Had nothing to do with being handy. I just didn't like getting stabbed all the time. I hear the ones I'll be wearing next will use tape or an elastic band. With the way my skin hangs, I think I'd be better off with clothes pins. Or do they still sell those?

Never ever too late to learn till they turn the lights off. You are not really that old. Lots of guys on here who could be your dad.
