Further to the thread @Brent H started here https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/the-pilgrimage-to-calgary.4289/ of his travels out West, find additional details below. He will join us sometime by mid-afternoon.

Here are some details of the meet-up:

Date: 28/NOV/2021

Time: 1300h to 1800h. Brent and his crew should arrive sometime during that time. You can hang around as long as you want.

Location: 240098 Paradise Meadow Drive, Chestermere, AB. It is an acreage.

Just pull up the driveway beside the house and go park in “the back 40” past the shop (Quonset style building). Enter through the man door on the west side if the main door is not open.

General points:
Everyone is welcome. Bring your own warm beverage as there is no heat in the shop yet. It is insulated to R42 and the weather is forecast to be +11*C tomorrow - so should be quite comfortable, but cool. There is a table, bench and some chairs to sit on. If you need to use the facilities in the main house, a mask will be required.

The machines will generally not be powered; however, if there is a specific interest / request to see something run, I can do that. For that reason bring safety glasses. I’ll have some tools / attachments out of my collection on display.

The spirit of this is event is to meet Brent & his crew, exchange stories and hopefully everyone can learn something as well. So all ideas / comments are very welcome.

Cheers, Rudy
 
Wish I could be there too, but the wife is working and I've got to chase the little gremlins. Please take lots of pictures!
 
I'm in the middle of a time-sensitive project, the outdoors kind that I want to get done before the snow flies.
I can only get things done on weekends because there's no more daylight after my weekday-job.
Unfortunately after helping me with it all day today, my helper (wife) has told me that she has better things to do tomorrow (rider her horse). Sheesh.
Maybe I should stop by. Chestermere isn't very far.
 
Sorry to be a no-show. I did some electrical wiring wrong yesterday and it left one our sheds with no working lights.
Had to fix it, quick. My wife was quite annoyed to be feeding horses in the dark!
 
Well.... the meet and greet was a great success. @Brent H and crew showed up around 3:30 with car on trailer. @RobinHood was a great host with an amazing shop and some very nice machines. In attendance were @kevin.decelles , @johnnielsen , @Johnwa , @Tom O ,@Dabbler , @Brent H , @ShawnR and Brent's son. @Hacker is coming down from Edmonton tomorrow, and Brent plans to stick around until Tues.

Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera:(

Wow...... I sure do wish I could have been there..... Look at all those faces deep in conversations. Heck, I'd even be willing to promise to shut up and just listen! If only......

Wife says "nice looking young man you have there @Brent H"!

I confess I had a wonderful time visiting with @GerryinBelleRiver picking up @Brent H 's Milling Fixture. I wish I could have stayed longer. It's so nice talking to people with similar interests and seeing some really cool equipment and shop setups. Makes me realize how eager I am to do the planned Ontario meet and greet in January.
 
I'm sorry I missed this. Totally missed the post on Saturday so I didn't get out Sunday. Had planned on showing up today, but life just had other plans for me.

Would have been nice to put a few more faces to the names.
