Welcome! Usually Jward provides the "endless" coffee. I help out when I can! We had to BAN Sarah from the break room.

Welcome, Southern hen…

Enjoy your time here, and never be afraid to ask questions….
 
Hello everyone, Wicket here.
Been a lurker since at least 2015, maybe earlier. Guess my application for registration back in 2021 did take effect, just missed the email in the junk folder : ( Thanks to whom ever remade the application this morning.

I'm from southern ontario, born in 1987 and raised in a large town(not city) outside of the GTA. Dad was a welder, mom was a florist/gardener. I've taken on machining as my trade, and I love it. Something about making parts for something that can do the work of 100s of people, or to supply power/food stuffs, is really satisfying after a long week.

The name comes from my cats, which I think I got from an e'wok in starwars, always named them wicket like snowball from the simpsons. On Wicket the 4th now, wicket the 3rd was the best mouser ever. Thank you guys for the diatomaceous earth thread, it allowed me to control the tape worms that the mice had now and then.

Welcome and I lurked awhile myself even though I was on the Old Board.
 
Haha, yeah. Was obvious why I tried in 2021, but recently I felt I wanted to be able to take part in the generational divide posts that were up on the main page last week. Would be good to get in touch with other Canadians as well.

Thanks Mikeabn, and West. I do remember rotary phones, drive a manual car, grow a small garden, can read a vernier scale, sharpen a drill, and I'm currently manual machining at the place I'm at now. Hopefully one of those count!
 
Welcome! Read the stickies threads at the top of the main forum page, and jump in! If you've got any questions, use the envelope icon up in the top right, and send a PM to one of the mods.

The one, basic board rule, as eloquently stated by Millwright is, "don't be a dick"! We try to maintain a civil discussion, even on touchy topics.

If a post frosts your Wheaties and you're tempted to respond in kind, use the "Report" button on the bottom left of every post instead!

Glad to have you!
