Workshop Skills
Covering the basic tools in the main workshop, how to use them safely and effectively.
Ideal if you are not comfortable with some of the non-induction machine tools, or want to learn some of the basic skills used in the workshop.
Sessions can be in small groups or 1:1 to cover specific tools or techniques.
Sessions will be relatively short - 30 minutes to an hour. Content will be tailored for the group from the list below.
