• 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!

Off shore taps

Not at the moment, got some. It was kind of a bust trying to order some from " Amagoon", they would not deliver. Haven't worked out what the deal is. Anyway got some from Napa, yet to try them, and I just had to walk across the street, here 2 days later. Never thought!

I found a copy of the book on line and it arrived today. Now I know why you like it.

I haven't read it yet, but just skimming it, it does appear to contain a wealth of excellent appropriate content! It will be my bedside reading for a while.
 
Thanks for the link, guys! I previously only found the German language version, which is limited use to me. If I like it, I'll certainly order the hard copy...

+1 on that! My hard copy arrived a few days ago. Skimmed thru it a bit, looks excellent!. More pictorial than Machinery's Handbook, reminiscent of my current favorite the "Engineer's Black Book". The EBB I would say is very condensed, simplified, compact. and resides in my workshop whereas the MTH will reside in my library.

Yes. An excellent mixture of nice graphics and text. Mine will go to the workshop though.

Oddly, I never had a copy of the Engineer's Black Book. Perhaps I was happy with all my text books. Who else do you know has 6 text books on thermodynamics? LOL!

I guess it's about time that I did. If it's as good as others say, it would go to the workshop too - after it completes the bedside phase of course.....

Another comment on the Mechanical and Metal Trades Handbook that @gerritv first referenced in this thread. It really is downright excellent. I am enjoying it very much. Way more in it than I optimistically expected.
