• 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.

  • 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!

Ontario member sound off

Dudes! I am still here - just busy as all get out.

House will probably go up for sale in March 2023. Tooling will be on the move - that is for sure. Just took a big load out to NB last 2 weeks, home yesterday.

Did big survey and measurements and hope to be adding a 40 x 50 addition to the existing building.

In the mean time - lets say we work on a plan for some spring time get together! I may not have the machines etc but space!

As was our last get together it was great to chat, exchange info, sell stuff and have some food and drink.

Once I am set in the new digs - Woo Hoo!!! We can plan a country wide event!!
 
My brother is in Pickering, and unlike me he is nice friendly and sociable... He wants to start a local club that meet at each others shops, help each other out and work on group builds and that sort of thing.

We have a surface grinder, and Bridgeport, and now a yet to be operational Chipmaster Lathe and are looking for a used 1440 lathe...

I'm in the most southwest town in Ontario. On the edge of the Detroit River and 3 miles north of the start of Lake Erie. Right at the end of the peninsula. (Near Windsor)
