• 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!

Shop Now THIS is a Full Shop!

Shop
I saw it the day it came out. The guy was a genius at finding great equipment, and rebuilding the stuff that wasn't. There has been 2 rounds of auctions already, and some bargains were to be had. I'm too far away to participate. Pity.
 
I feel much better about my hoard now.

Having said that ..............

If I win the lottery ............... there will be signs.

Now I know who was bidding on the same stuff as me .

It really made me think that if something unexpectedly happened to me that my wife and kid wouldn't know what everything was or what it was worth. It would be bad enough for them to have to deal with emptying out the shop I would at least want them to get what things are worth and not loose out on money.

Yes. I'm not married (divorced), but my parents (mid 70's) and closest friends have a short list of people to contact to deal with all my junk if I drop dead, etc.

Unfortunately no one I know knows anything about metal working. The wife has a pretty good handle on what everything is and what its worth on the wood working side of the shop. On my list of things to do, both for insurance and if I kick off early, is to make a list of all my tools and equipment as well as their value. I won't even mention just how long that has been on my list of things to do.
