Today’s meeting was Hands-On with two lathes set up for members to use for making something or for learning. Tonight, they were largely used by Geoff Warr and Chris Harkin to teach some techniques to those with little or no experience.
As usual help was available on bandsawing and tool sharpening for those that wanted it – ably tutored by Mick Denton.
There was, of course, also time for socialising and drinking tea and coffee whilst scoffing biscuits.
Geoff explaining some basic techniques.
Chris showing the beginnings of a Christmas tree.
Mick demonstrating his method of freehand sharpening – although I’m not sure what he was doing at the exact moment the picture was taken.
