• 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!

don’t paint all of us easterners with a broad brush, please

it’s not an undue accusation, but there are still a few of us who dabble in the black arts in the east

as @Susquatch points out it’s more a non-topic or at least a hush topic yet machining is closely tied to things that go bang....at least forum wise

we have a few highly skilled machinists who lean the right way within our ranks :D

It's hard not to use the big brush, with the propaganda machine going full tilt boogie. I agree with you, there are sensible people everywhere, and anyone who has devoted time in their life to machining, or other real world crafts that have consequences immediately for mistakes made, quickly learn to understand. I like people who have a passion for their own craft, and we all should help each other in this.

Agreed. We try to stay no politics around here, for good reason. There’s many avenues to get involved in shooting, I personally only hope people find a way to get involved, educated and find an avenue to shoot safely
