• 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!

Hello,

My name is Josh. I'm a Calgary area guy. I'm not as active machining as I used to be. I spend time mostly building firearms when I am machining. I use other forums, but I was looking for aluminum scrap on kijiji and saw the add for this forum and thought, what the heck.

I have a 14x48 lathe and a 12 x 40 mill, which are big by home hobby standards but what can I say.

Cheers,

Josh

Welcome to the forum!

I wasn't sure if anyone ever looked at those ads, haha.

There are for sure lots of related forums, nothing I could find for Canadians, so setup this!

Good to have you on board. I'm sure you can contribute a lot!

Hey Josh, Check out the thread on powder coating. Josh West is trying to convince me to powder coat or anodize his rifle brake that he's making. I'm trying to decide if he's going to blow himself up and if I'm contributing. :>
