Thanks @afshind for dealing with the towering pile in the woodbin which I discovered when I got in this morning - I was dreading having to deal with it this week!

I’d like to thank @Esther_Gladstone for the excellent wood lathe induction this weekend. That was a big chunk of your weekend you gave up for us to get familiar with the techniques! I’ll try to get my first turning project started this week and post some pictures :grin:

Sort of off topic but I’d like to thank @Calum_Nicoll for running [MIG Welding] [Training] at the LHS.

6 posts were split to a new topic: Mig welding workshop at LHS

I’m about a couple of weeks late with this one, but big thanks to @Nelfcat for making a cut on the table saw for me. One day I’ll learn how to use it properly myself, but until that time, having people like Chris around to help is absolutely invaluable :smiley:

Yes, to the power of ‘that’s singer smart s**t going on there’

Big thanks to @Sponge_Bob for sorting out my Trotec woes and lasing those toy parts for us. Little’un very happy with his fully functioning transformer now! Cheers mate. See you soon.

Thanks to @CriticalTolerance for running the wood workshop induction today. It’s not an exciting task, losing a Sunday morning for a few hours of health and safety. But we can’t function without such selfless acts.

Somebody revived the bike parking by putting a bench in the way so cars can’t park right up against the toast rack.

Thanks to @tomnewsom for inducting a group of us on the laser cutter yesterday, patiently answering all the interrupting questions, and then waiting, watching, and commenting as we each ran through a long (for him surely unexciting) practice, as patient with the last person as with the first. Much appreciated!

Thanks also to @StudioNelle for sanity-checking my first proper run of the cutter tonight, sharing various tips, and helping me with an inkscape weirdness.

Massive thanks to @neill0 who patiently sat with me for 2hrs tonight and taught me how to solder & wire up a switch onto a set of LED lights. Very much appreciated. I don’t care what they say about you, I think you’re a top bloke! :wink:
