They need a minimum of 10 students currently there are 13 (I think)of us) John the tutor is very amenable and is happy to let more experienced ( you have to demonstrate competence work on thier own projects. They have 3 vertical mills, 6 ? (at least) 6" centre lathes a surface grinder, cylindrical grinder and the usual surface tables etc. They can also do a bit of welding - MIG I think. http://www.eastleigh.ac.uk/coursedetails.asp?bookcode=EGMMN1&bookcode2=Y972B&bookcode3=EGMMN1&course=pt§ion=adult&freetext=DIY&prospectus=0 They offer this for the autumn, winter & spring terms. I started last autumn but the course was not run again until this autumn.
