• 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!

Hi Everyone,

Need some help to get the word out.

Montreal's biggest maker space, http://espacefabrique.org/ , is having a membership drive. Recently there have been some issues that resulted in the space being closed temporarily. The new Board seems to have pulled off a small miracle in saving a great idea and needed resource, but, it wont last unless we can really start to bring in a crowd.

Tell your friends, acquaintances, or anyone who likes making stuff to sign up, show up, and build up a really great place that we'll miss if it's gone.

thanks and hope to see some of you there someday.

David
 
The new website could use some better pics. I'll mention that at our next meeting.

The facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pg/espacefabrique/photos/?ref=page_internal is a bit better.

The place is huge. Old indstrial building with 40 foot ceilings. The main fab area has the welding group, lathe, mil, brake, shear. Mostly King, not my favorite, but gets the job done. The woodworking section is still a bit basic but again you can still get alot done.
