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!

As long as you don't have cats.
I can relate, Dad was a construction welder, 1/8" gap was a perfect fit and any gap up to a 1/4" was close enough. lol
His life long enemy was "wood welding rod", unless he could use a 4lb hammer.

The bolts holding it the wall look a little undersized for the job, I'd beef those up.
Better safe than sorry.

Come to think of it, that toilet roll holder has been mounted upside down, there's alot more strength to be had in sheer if it was mounted the other way around.
Excellent fabrication, very poor installation.
