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!
New bench for the shop - finished

Thanks guys,
and yes the legs are adjustable, my garage floor is fairly even but made the adjustable feet just in case I need to make any adjustments or if it wasnt level in either direction I could easily adjust it. Instead of messing around with shims and such. Have a few others benches at the machines but this one is the "main" one for everyday use.
Noticed the other thread you started there CalgaryPT and always fun to see other peoples builds. Looks good and useful.

When I had my first shop I built a workbench and didn't install levelers. It was my first house and didn't realize until too late that garage floors are build to slope for drainage. For a while I couldn't figure out why my first few projects were always crooked when I used the bench but when I took the finished project inside it was crooked.
LOL.
LOL.
In the last house we owned I had the same problem with the rickedy bench I had, always frustrating. Anything big enough to have to be built on the floor was always a bugger too. This particular bench had a fairly wicked twist in the top(learned a lesson when gluing it up). Ended up making a router sled setup to take the twist out which worked really well and went surprisingly fast even with a 3/4" router bit on an 87" wide top. So hopefully building or welding anything up on it should come out fairly even.
