Do you know how to use the Metal Lathe? Our awesome Steward for it recently moved away.☹️

If you have some experience and are willing to help out your fellow members, please email bo...@desmoinesmaker.space We’d love to help you become the official Tool Steward for it! If that sounds like too much commitment, you can at least help us pick / train someone else to do it.

Thanks, everyone!!!

It’s been a loooong time but I will gladly watch some videos and see if it jump starts my memory!

I suppose that I'm in a similar boat as Amy. Many years ago I operated a metal lathe (for about a year) that was about as long as a van.
At the time I wore contact lenses. On my last day with that lathe I got some minute metal shavings in my eyes (yes, I wore goggles and a face mask). I won't tell you the rest of the medically-related story.

Who was the acting steward that moved away?
