We were due to welcome Wolfgang Shultz Zachau as our guest demonstrator for our February meeting. Unfortunately, Wolfgang had an accident with his planer and is still being treated for the injury which means that he will not be able to give his demonstration.
Instead of Wolfgang’s demo we will now have a Super Sized Hands On evening and Sharpening School. You can read more about what will be going on by checking the events calendar page.
A HEALTH & SAFETY REMINDER
What it does go to remind us is the inherent danger that the tools and machinery that we use for our hobby pose. Even the experts can get hurt!!!
Whenever you are working with your lathe or machinery please make sure that you have checked everything, you are wearing the correct PPE (clothing, eye protection and of course a face mask is always recommended) and you give what you are doing your full and undivided attention.
We would also recommend that you have a basic first aid kit in your workshop at all times.
Dave Gillett will be undertaking the Health and Safety role at club nights, so please ensure that you follow club rules at all times. They are there for your protection.
