Woodworking workshop induction


Lovely new workshop and no woodworking students as such. This department is for use by various other 'pathways', including glass. So we have learned to use: the belt sander; disk sander; bobbin sander; bandsaw; little bandsaw; fret saw; pillar drill; cordless drill; glue gun; hot air gun; jigsaw; foam cutter; strip heater; vacu-form machine. I feel quite breathless just listing them all. Even if I don't remember exactly how to use each one, ideas for possibilities are opening up. At the very least, I will be able to make stands for exhibitions, perspex plate holders and various other things. All quite inspiring. And I am sure Stephen would be envious of someof these machines.
