This is the workshop in which the courses are held. This fully equipped 500 square foot purpose built workshop houses a VB36, two Powermatic lathes and a small Nova lathe which gives the student plenty of choice. There is also a sandblast cabinet, two bandsaws, a vacuum chucking system and just about every hand tool imaginable. It is fitted with an efficient dust extraction and air filtration system which makes it a very comfortable room to work in. For the winter months there is a woodburning stove to keep you warm.
