• 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!

Tools you waited too long to acquire

One of these de-bur tools what a nice thing to have for making things less cutty. If you don't own one you should look into one.

Shaviv deburring tool kit. Turned out to work much better than I expected. If you get one of these I recommend wearing a leather glove on the hand you are holding the part you are deburring in. I slipped and got a very painful cut that took a long time to heal.

Girly hands ;) .

All joking aside, metal work and gloves are one of those PPE devices that can be both a hazard and requirement from one moment to the next.

Wear them, snag a glove and get an injury.

Don't wear them, slip and get an injury.

Its know when and when not to.
 
Does the tractor count? We'd been on the property for about four years moving dirt and stuff with wheelbarrows and shovels when the other half said " why don't we have a tractor to do this?" The next day papa went shoppin and we bought the Kubota! :D

I'd say it counts, but I included my UTV/ATV in my list so I'm kinda biased. I also have 3 tractors here on my farm so again I'm biased. I even like the backhoe attachment.

Where you cross the line is getting an orange one......
