Adult education classes at local high school

Julian

I recently signed up for an "adult" education class in one of the area high schools. It is a carpentry class and their woodshop is incredible. Any woodworking machine you can possible need or imagine. They also have 7 (like new) PM3520B lathes and about 7 older PM and Delta lathes. See attached photos.

question for Keith Tompkins

That reminds me of the shop at the Brookfield Craft Center about a decade ago.

Except they were all Oneway 2436s.

Keith, you used to teach there, if I remember correctly.

Did they reopen that when they started up again?

I don't see any woodturning on their class schedule. ...GG

HI Gary! Yes, they have reopened the turning shop. The Oneway lathes are gone, replaced with Jet 16" units. I demo'd there recently and will begin offering classes again. I want to thank one of the turning students, Dr. Henry Spector for his generous gift to the Craft Center, without it, I doubt the turning shop would currently exist. I, along with many others, was heartbroken when the shop closed; it was like being home again every time I taught there. It's good to be back!
