Want to say a huge thanks to Ed @CriticalTolerance for showing a few of us how to use the Tormek last night. I sharpened my hand plane blade this afternoon and then smoothed and flattened a board with it and it was so satisfying! I’ll do some more of the dodgy space chisels with it soon with my new skills.

Thanks to @Jonty_Bottomley for his calming and resourceful approach to tackling my laser cutter woes at 2 o’clock this morning… whilst he was also fabricating half a dalek… and with his other hand, playing the dulcimer…

Thanks to @Lesley_Hilling and @Jonty_Bottomley for your help with my Adobe Illustrator/lastercutting yesterday. I need to learn Illustrator properly.
Happy to help, another couple of run throughs and you’ll familiar with the various functions, keep thinking up projects and assimilating tips!
Thanks to @Will @Jonty_Bottomley and @Valentino_Sfamurri for your constant enthusiasm and hard work on the metalwork area - very inspiring and great progress being made!

I’m doing a bit more on it tonight if you’re about. I need someone with fag papers!
Yeah I saw the improperly set guide bearings 
Alright, we also have some feeler gauges!
Big props to Will for getting the metal lathe going.

Hi!
I just came here to say what absolutley fantatsic support I received from everyone yesterday when attempting to laser cut a rather tricky file - particularly for the help received from @Jonathan - I think I may have just become stuck without your expert guidance.
Also I would like to say a belated thank you to @Petra who inducted me. Everything was very well explained and this was very much appreciated.
I am still very fresh to The SLMS but I have been blown away by the supportive helping atmosphere.

Two thanks - first of all to @laurent_muchacho for all his work on the 3d printer project. I was just printing something today and thinking how cool it is to be able to do that at home, so a big thanks to Laurent for sharing his knowledge and printing all the parts.
Second - I was in the space for the first time today after the spring clean and it’s looking amazing, so thanks to everyone who contributed.
