  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

Welcome to Westwood Metalworks, What is he building in there?

Moved the strapping, hung the first sheet.

Different hue to the new one....doesn't match the old. Like when you local dive bar repairs that one broke ceiling tile and it stands out from the rest of them....might have to paint.

That's it for today. Golf @3, gotta get ready.

Some strapping and longer wood screws were perfect (cheap, quick and easy). I put 4 on the 18v makita, but only 2 on the smaller ones. The m12/18 I'm not going to do yet, as I'm going to find/buy/trade for a combo one instead.

Took a bunch of other shit out to the barn, and will take another load again tomorrow. Debating moving my sheet metal brake/shear out there too, as that space would be pretty nice to have.....

Brought it in from out there years ago because I wanted to tear it down, clean it up and get it working nice again, but that's probably not going to happen anytime soon.....it's just become a flat spot to pile shit on. Don't want to sell it either....
