    Heya,

    I'm trying to find classes for learning Wood Turning but JoeLaird.com cant be contacted as far as I can see (are they still going? phone disconnected, no reply from emails) and I've tried a few schools/tec's and either they don't do it or they dont start till sept!

    Does anyone know of somewhere that teaches lathe work?


    Or does anyone want to teach me and I'll pay (well!) for a couple of hours tuition a week in my own workshop?

    His mobile voicemail is full and the main number is disconnected it seems. Mail was unanswered but maybe as you say he could be on holiday? I'll text tomorrow and see if that gets through, but seems... weird.

    That "East Central Chapter" looks good, I think I'll pop along on the 12th.

    Joe Laird got back to me (he had been on a weeks holidays!) and helped me find someone in my area who he said can teach me a lot about turning. So, I'm on the road. Thanks for the help... have to say, every single turner I've talked too seemed really decent and helpful! :)
