• 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!

Tim Hunkin's Secret Life of Components

I don't know how many folks have been following along with Tim through the Pandemic, but this youtube series is a treasure trove of practical information on pretty much every aspect of mechanical prototyping.
Highly recommended: Full Playlist. His most recent episode on prototyping takes a nice walk down the process of his most recent arcade machine. My favorite is probably Bearings.
And quite nicely he's also remastered the _Secret Life of Machines_ from the '90s.
 
I watch him every once in a while but can find myself fast forwarding quite often on some subjects.
 
He is very much in the old-school "episode" production mode instead of new-mode quick-consumption.
