• 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!

If World War II is a topic of interest to you, I possess a 10-volume set of "The War Illustrated." Although it is currently up for sale, there has been little to no interest in it, and it is occupying unnecessary space.

Should you find it useful, you are welcome to have it, as I would prefer it to go to someone with an interest.

That would be fantastic!
 
For those who can't get the print version, here are all of the issues from WWII. Fascinating reading, and likely contain good examples of Allied propoganda/spin .

Germany published news reels, Die Deutsche WochenSchau, many of which are on YT. Those also contain their spin on events.

Germany also published a magazine called Signal (Signaal in Holland) in various languages. Stopped in 1944 once the tide turned.

Signal Magazine 1940 - 1945
