• 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!

Actually when I get things figured out on how to post pictures and videos I will be able to post a few things. One video I would like to make and post is a video of Baynes machine shop in Petrolia Ontario. It is over 100 years old and is all line shft driven. Absolutly incredible! As far as machinery goes I am an Instructor with Lambton college Millwright program two thirds of my teaching is in the machine shop. But I have two interesting machines that will be posted for sale. One is an Ames triplex, if you Google it there is a good you tube video of one. And the other is an Atlas 7" shaper. I just picked them up in December. One of my reasons for joining the forum is to offer it to Canadian metal hobbiest first before I post on Kijiji or American forums. But for now just learning to work your forum, which looks excellent.
