• 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!

Thanks!

Just a general comment:
I only found this forum back in June, and it’s been fascinating. No flame wars, intelligent conversations, forum members who actually seem to know what they’re talking about. Is it because we’re Canadians?

Yes it is awesome isn't it? I am inclined to think it's the nature of the hobbyists that frequent this forum, generally not professionals that try to show others how much they know but rather just folks eager to learn fun and neat stuff and are equally eager to share what they have learned with no egos attached.
 
I will agree the group is very mature and open to looking at different ideas, and I am very happy to be a forum supporting member and encourage others to do the same. I met my first member Trlvn this week as I had purchased some drill bits from him and was in the GTA. Craig and I had a nice chat/visit and I got to see his basement shop and see the future he has planned down there.
