• 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!

@Susquatch his posts are such a contrast to the ones I've done, or my documentation keeping procedures. A @BaitMaster post can be summarized as this:

"Heres the done project, took me 3 days, thanks for all the information guys, on to the next one."

Stel goes into all the detail of all the problems he runs into along the way, with pics, shows the tools he uses, with pics, shows his setup, with pics, shows the workpiece half done, with pics, then shows great pictures of the final product.

Maybe i'll attempt doing a project with his style of documentation one day.... The fact he knows what he's doing helps him in his write ups though.... That would be lacking in mine (:
