• 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!

Just outside Ottawa

Getting back into metal work after a long time away. Did my apprenticeship nearly 30 years ago and never did anything with it. Figure I'd give it another go....small lathe, small mill, forge and anvil. Tool resto's, knives, gun/reloading stuff....maybe a droid or three....probably a light-sabre (I choose not to act my age!).
 
Welcome from Oakville! We like pictures here if you want to share.

What kind of lathe and mill have you got?

Hmmm...with the name "Darth Zima", maybe you're into cosplay. In that case, maybe we don't need pictures! ;)

Welcome from TO
 
Sorry...no cosplay here....just an old scifi/fantasy geek

Craftex CX600 Mill (technically Mill/Drill) and a LMS 5200 ...... big enough to play with but not big enough to get into any real trouble.

Welcome from farm country south of Chatham Ontario.

Welcome, from an hour south.
Sounds like a nice start in the shop set up.
I have a lathe, I’m still shopping for a mill, and the wife said no to the forge. Afraid I’ll burn something down.

My wife feels exactly the same ( with, admittedly, some justification...) ....which is why I sorta forgot to mention it before I got it..... I have the "I am sure talked to you about it ..." speech perfected.
