• 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!

Not really what I need, too big, a bit expensive, and I don’t do much woodworking. But it’s 100 years old, and I wish I will look this glorious when I’m a similar vintage. Old iron is beautiful.

I know, right! ....... I have a hard time looking at it very long though, it makes my willy feel funny :eek::oops:
What do you think we can buy that is made today, and will still be operational in a 100 years and worthy of restoring? :rolleyes:

Lots of things, as long as they don’t have an operating system, batteries, a touch screen, require gasoline, or need wifi connectivity. So 99% of the manufactured items in my house will be worthless.

Yup, I am pretty sure that if we want it to last, we'll have to make whatever it is in our own shops. In my case on machines that are already pushing a 100 years and more.....

That is truly beautiful!

My bride even likes it!

I think it's worth every penny of the ask but..... I'd never get that value out if it.
