I'm also hoping to start using the Metal Shop. I'm book-learning what i can about the Mill right now but would ultimately need some hands-on instruction. Are there ever any Milling & Lathing or Welding courses, that people do?
Again, I could provide some labour/assistance on someone's project in exchange for instruction if there aren't typically courses happening.
I'm signed up to assist with the workbench construction which should cover the brake and perhaps some other things.
