Here's a good chance for people living in the UK to learn more about operating machinery.

Every Wednesday 1pm ?430 pm Accrington Technical College invites you metalworking people to use there machines for what ever you want.

If like me you would like to have the chance to operate machinery that you have never operated before and be supervised doing it?.this is your big break.

Complete newbies to metal working and engineering are welcome.

Or if you fancy a go on one of the machines below your welcome.

2 horizontal grinders.

Richmond vertical Millar with DRO

2 Parkson vertical millers with DRO.

1 Ajax horizontal miller with DRO.

1 Elliot shaper

1 Midsaw vertical bandsaw.

3x Harrison 600 lathe

3x Colchester student lathe

1x Harrison m250 lathe

3 Elliot bench drills

as well as all the necessary tooling rotary tables and dividing heads.

The price for 10 sessions is £40?that's all?..yes only £4 a session?..

The materials are supplied free of charge.

That's really freaking cool. Do they have machining students in the shop at the same time? I've got school on Wednesday afternoons, and it's a bit far to travel... Otherwise I'd *so* be there. :D

Lol, in this case it would be "Mom" "stops by to see tools whose makers she's never heard of and try them out". :D "Dad" is into metal too, but with sheet metal work.

We're on the east coast of Canada, so it's too far for us right now. :) It *is* a good idea though.

Reminds me of the old joke about Patrick sending a telegram from Killarney in Ireland, to his brother Mick in Vancouver, BC. Telegram said that nephew Rory was aboard a steam ship that would be docking in a few days at Halifax, and would Mick mind meeting the boat on arrival. Mick sends a telegram response back, suggesting that Patrick meet the boat hisself, as he is closer!

Take care.
