Greetings fellow metal workers and machinst's! My name is Jim and I love working with metal.
My interest stems from vehicle restoration and the metal working required to do it well. Welding, and general fabrication are a necessary skill and I've gotten reasonably skilled in those areas.
I'm doing more and more milling and lathe work as my interest grows, and I need to find a good supply of local or at least Canadian tooling. What I have found in Calgary so far is pretty disappointing (ie Busy Bee... don't get me started....).
I did a quick look at the forum and don't see a thread specifically devoted to tooling suppliers, but I know many of you have links to all your favorite suppliers in and around this area. Please point me in the right direction!
Thanks.
