  • 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!

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.

sad
 
Once Sarah McLachan is done donating her voice to animals, I'm hoping she will do the same for machinery. This is just sad, and disrespectful.

 
in the northern community of carrot river,SK. I was making a delivery and my headlights caught this lathe. When i went back two days later i took those pictures
 
Is it just me, or is anyone else envisioning a Black Ops Extraction Team to get this soldier home safe and sound?
 
Apparent abuse on many levels. Its been violated by hillbillies. I hope the soundtrack to your BlackOps mission is Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse now. Not dueling banjos in Deliverance -LOL.

Calgary PT, it had crossed my mind! (I was hearing the Beverly Hillbillies theme song!) ;)
 
I'll take that theme song over @PeterT 's Dueling Banjos reference any day.

I still have squealing pig nightmares over a specific movie scene from that movie.
 
Ya lets hope. I'm just mentioning the possibility if those were the tie-downs to the flat bed during hauling, it wouldn't take much of a bumpy road ride to squeeze on them & potentially bend the rods out of axial alignment. Those have to run true or it will show up in cutting finish.
 
stll a long way to rescue a lathe. I have access to a 15000 lb flat bed, but that would be 400$ gas just to take a look|!
