• 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!

Pacific Arc Tig Welding

TIG is my favorite process, Sadly I am only decent on flat horizontal welds. But to me it is very relaxing. I've been known to just weld flat bar together over and over because I just enjoy the rhythm once you get into the groove. Odd, I know, but relaxing. Years ago I scored a big Baldor buffer for a song. That thing makes any weld look shiny and nice.

In my mind I want to be this guy, but I'll have to settle for lawnmower and snowblower repairs instead:

Hey Pete, I completely agree with you on the relaxing aspect of TIG.
