Appreciation to ALL our fabulous inductors, who give their time and expertise, often for free, to us so we can make stuff safely and enjoyably. Thanks especially to @Beth for a thorough and fun level 1 wood lathe induction this week, highly recommended for wood workers who may not have considered wood turning - try it, you’ll like it. :grinning:

A massive thank you to laser legend @petra for showing @Matt_Cliffe, @AaronFox and I around the machine yesterday. Great instruction and an incredible piece of kit. Thank you!

Went to sleep repeatedly muttering the word anticlockwise

Thanks again @Petra and it was great to meet you Tom and Aaron. See you at the Makerspace again soon, hopefully with some food for a laser cutting and sandwich eating BBQ.

Hot on the footsteps of the guys right above, I’d ALSO like to thank @petra for her time this evening - a full 24 hours later! (This is becoming the Petra appreciation thread!)

Not only did she run a session last night, but then went to work today and then came to induce (?!) the lovely @clang and @Mel, and myself. It was great - thank you so much.

(@Matt_Cliffe has got me wondering though… maybe if we use the rotary tool, we could pop a chicken on there and have us some rotisserie… :zap: :fire: :chicken: :plate_with_cutlery: :poultry_leg: )

Thanks from me also. Really appreciate @petra taking the time out to teach us

Hahaha, @David_C Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We did discuss it but @Petra said that the food doesn’t taste as good as you think it would, but the tempation to try it is still there.

This is health and safety hell guys.

Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to stick to cutting wood and plastic :slight_smile:

It’s ok, we’re joking.
I’m going to dismantle an old CD player and use the laser from that… :wink:

Thank you very much @Jonty_Bottomley for guiding my first steps in the addictive hobby of woodworking. He provided the material, helped me with the scary table saw cuts required for the chopping board, showed me the correct way to clamp it and glue it.

@directors can you purchase 10 more @Jonty_Bottomley please? :smiley:
