• 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!

Every once and a while one of these artsy projects come up, this happened to get rolled in with the two buildings we put up last fall, a 31' tall tipi. The fact that it's a tipi checks out, it is on reserve land (next to stoney nakoda casino on #1 highway btwn calgary & canmore).

Thought you guys might like this one, kinda neat, its not complete, no one has decided what they want for the connection at the top (no one knew what it would even look like). I imagine it will sit like this for at least a few days until the architects take a look and provide some direction, as this is is what i like to call a "napkin sketch" job, minimal details, minimal direction.....just make it work

I am not in any of the photos, that is my helper/co-worker

Makes you wonder (if it’s authentic) how they assembled it without a crane

Neat project
