Induction, Induction, Induction.

Well of course it's that time of year again when we meet all of our new students and then embark on imparting some of our knowledge and wisdom to them whilst we induct them into what is possible in the Wood Workshop. We show them how to use the machines, an in-depth look at materials and process. As always,we end with a little making project. On top of these we are offering many more model making sessions as well in order to give our students the best possible start here at Chelsea. 
Below are some images taken over the past few days.

John holds off a scrum of keen students as he demonstrates the Belt Sander.

This group of students are then let loose on the machines. 

And finally get to pin the results to a board.

Weng gets all animated about the world of the Pillar Drill 

There's no stopping Phil when it comes to Router chat. 

More finished pieces get pinned. 

Stef and Phils model making sessions were great fun and looked at a range of materials and processes. 

Phil here talks about the possibilities of introducing elements of metal into this particular project, which is to create a diorama.

Some examples of foam board models on display.
