Our latest training day was on Thursday evening 12-09-2024.
All our training days are organized by Nick Simpson our training co-ordinator.
There were 5 trainees along with 5 tutors on all our lathes, 4 of them were on their 2nd training session with 1 person on their 1st session. The training is usually split into 4 sessions, 2 with faceplate or bowl work sessions and 2 spindle or between centres turning, with the pupil doing lots of practice between sessions, it’s normal to set them free from the tuition after they have had 4 sessions. Some of them may go on to receive advanced tuition at a later date, our training also deals with very specialised turning as well as what’s considered normal.
