  • 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!

I don't know what to say about that? You're certainly thinking out side of the box. If it works it works. Good for you.
 
i also have found the system my brother in law used to turn the lathe into a sort of milling machine, used it to cut key way in shaft,and then also used it to cut slots in ( excuse me i know this is not recommended)wooden cooking tool called "sprudel" it is like a flat wide spoon with slots in it. Go slow. make no saw dust, keep the vacumn on collecting grindings
 
due to mobility handicap, i am not able to continue to use my lathe, i have gifted to a family member, I inherited it from my brother in law and it goes to his nephew. His name is Josh David Grabka, he is a high pressure welder and a tool and die maker in training. He will finish the course this month. He is in Regina , I will suggest he join the forum.
 
Sorry to hear your unable to continue with the sport, sounds like the machine is going to a good home.
Hope to hear from Josh and get some pictures of his setup.

Take care and we wish you all the best.
