• 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!

What the hell are you taking slivers out of if it's not one of your hands?

I'll tell you what... whether you want to know, or otherwise! LOL!

My Ex ran a dog grooming business, and suffered constantly, from embedded sections of dog hair, poking in to her feet! Dunno if the People Barbers have the same issues, but...

This is essentially a loop back to my use of VERY expensive tweezers, side-on light, and some decent magnification, to find and solve some of HER problems.

At the time I was a believer in Happy Wife = Happy Life. Didn't work out quite that way, but the experience with the tweezers is still valid! :p

As a side note, when you are paying US$12 each, for watch screws, you don't have to lose very many of them, using crap tweezers, to understand where the return is on a REALLY expensive (seeming) set is!
