Hi @woodtechs, would it be possible to get a hand held router and joining machine induction over the next week please? Times are pretty flexible for me I can make most times work 
Hi George,
I’m out for a couple more weeks so I won’t be available. What’s your level of experience with routers/jointers?
No worries! Unfortunately no experience with either just watching videos of people using them.
Is there any other way of me getting inducted before the 28th? I’ve got a week off work where I was hoping to spend the week in the makerspace
Go ahead and read the router manual (the one with a lot of pics) linked at the bottom of the tool page (physical copy in the sharpening drawer by the miter saw), it’s a great resource for understanding all the attachments and their proper use. If you have headphones and WhatsApp we can do a video call.
The planer is a bit more unforgiving and finicky, more so for a first time user, I’d like someone to be there in person to sign you off on that. The blades will need to be changed on it as well, which I’m planning on doing when I get back. There are prior wood techs who have the ability to sign you off if they’re present and willing, just ask around next time you’re in

Thank you Max I really appreciate that!
Don’t worry about the planar for now I can manage my project without it I think. Let me know when it is a good time to call, I read the manuals a while back before you inducted me on the table saw, but I will refresh my knowledge. Thanks again!
Hi George, if you are around tomorrow afternoon I could plane stuff down for you (if that helps). Can’t get you inducted unfortunately but can talk through the process with you.
Thank you Ivor for the offer! I don’t actually have the wood yet unfortunately
Hi @mbg, do you have any time this week (excluding Friday) that I could do the inductions? I am in the space most of the week if you happen to be back now Thanks!
Sorry been out of town and will be busy most of the day tomorrow. I might be back in the afternoon, but not 100% sure what my schedule will be
No worries! I will be in today so if you do end up with some free time then let me know
Hi Max, don’t worry about today as I am going to leave now, do you have an evening next week you will be around? (Or Saturday if that’s better?)
Are you planning on being in today? Looks like I can come by later
I wasn’t planning to be but I can if you are around. About 50mins away for me though so depends what time you are thinking?
I’ll be there for a few hours in about an hour or so
So I just looked at buses to get there and they seem to be pretty messed up today so I think it’s going to be hard for me to get in. Are you going to be in any evening next week? If not no worries
Do you happen to be around tomorrow afternoon/evening @mbg?
Pretty slammed with work and work travel at the moment, things will calm down from the 15th for me
Ok, thanks for letting me know
Hi Max
Do you happen to be around this evening? If you are I will be around so let me know!
Thanks
