Engineering tuition recommendations

There's an evening class "Basic Skills in Engineering" at College of North East London at Enfield. The workshop is equipped with lathes, milling machines, pillar drills as well as hand tools.

There is plenty of space in the workshop for more students and on-site parking.

If anybody is interested, please send me a message off-list so I can ring.

College of North West London (CNWL) also used to have a metalwork program - lathes, mills welding and sheet metal fabrication, etc.

Hi John P

Sorry for delay. Another week in hospital.

I was very pleased to publish your cutter grinder articles. The cutter you sent me was certainly very sharp.

I stopped reading Model Engineers’ Workshop just after I left. It was a tradition that previous editors received a fre copy of the magazine for life but sadly that did not happen for me.

It sounds like I am not missing anything. I will probably subscribe now I have a new workshop but would like to know if you still get access to the back issues.

I was thinking of writing some articles for the magazine so would have to have seen some recent issues. Sounds like no 300 would. Be a good start. (What not to write?)

More safety tips.

Use a clothes peg, old spring clip type, to keep your collar shut while red hot swarf is flying around, also weak elastic bands around sleeves too stop them flapping around. Finally, a transparent face mask will keep you face covered. Woolly hat or baseball hat is good as well.
