I have a degree in Electronics Engineering and work as an independent Software Engineer, but I joined the space so as to do some more manual work (motivated in large part by my interest in upgrading and building guitars and similar instruments) and to meet like-minded people.<br /> | |||
I was initially mostly focused in the metal shop learning to use the Colchester lathe and then the mill, working on my own projects and also helping out with the shop in general.<br /> | |||
More recently I have been more focused on the woodshop, I identified a number of things that could be improved, organized tool storage, started a pledge for hand sharpening accessories and created the sharpening station, spent a great deal of time sharpening chisels and woodturning tools, and drove the acquisition of the general use woodworking planes.<br /> | |||
Noting that wood storage was basically an unusable pile and project storage was a mess with poorly marked and sometimes abandoned projects dotted around the shop I formulated a plan and with the help of other members set up the wood rack and project storage.<br /> | |||
Along the way I developed an interest in the wood lathe, cleaning it up, creating tool racks, sharpening tools, etc, and becoming the maintainer. I started turning pens and some smaller items such as bottle stoppers and a number of friends and family have received them as gifts. I hope to be able to run workshops on turning pens and other items next year.<br /> | |||
