Hi Everyone,
thanks again for the help.
Mikey pretty much nailed it. The main goal of the course is don't kill yourself and absolutely do not break the lathe. What I pretty much want to accomplish is a sound foundation in safe operation so that they can accomplish basic tasks like facing, chamfering, drilling, and some light cutting. For some people that's all they'll ever need. For people who want to take it further we'll be setting up more advanced user groups and training sessions.
We've got two grinders and I could bring a third. I'm looking to keep the class to a max of 5, maybe even 4 so I get good facetime with everyone.
2-3 hours of youtube video's for them to watch the week before; safety, basic operation, tool grinding , a couple good crash video's, followed by an online questionnaire. Then 4 hours live in the shop.
