We need a tour of the @kevin.decelles compound;) @RobinHood had a two car garage full of machines he was restoring when I was last thereo_O , and a mill that would knock your socks off. A video tour would be entertaining...… What about a live video demo of @CalgaryPT 's RC lawn mower and a shop tour?

Video is the only way to get a tour of that shop, it’s like a mine, there is a place to walk but the work is on the wall

I'd say the test went well. I had great AV. Need to find a camera and mic I guess. I wonder if Best Buy is open these days?

ok let me see if I can get set up with a trial video chat with @Janger or Craig, early next week perhaps...

there is a new addition to “feed the monster” ( to quote James Kilroy)... it is a hefty one...

@YYCHobbyMachinist Memory express is open, and it is where I bought my USB camera./mic. Most of their web cams are out of stock, so 7$ is their cheapest option. Try London Drugs as an alternate supplier.

Where are you seeing a $7 webcam? The least expensive one I found on the BB website is $25 and that's a back order item. Memory Express appeared to be sold out of everything. Webcams must be a hot item these days. Haven't checked London Drugs.

70$ is the cheapest anywhere.

That sounds about right and I'm kind of surprised they are that expensive. The least expensive I found on Amazon was $15, but I wouldn't see it until June.

In any event, I just realized the wife's laptop has a camera and mic. I'll use that for the 9th meetup.

I think you tried to voice chat with me on discord - it actually rang my phone and yes I was up on a ladder in the shed so I didn't answer.

Count me in on a virtual meeting. I use Discord for gaming voice chat; I wasn't aware that it supported video as well.
