New Students Arrive

Week 45

Last week the students enjoyed a long weekend, as well as Halloween! The holiday isn't quite as popular here as it is in America, but that didn't stop Craig from getting into the spirit and spooking several of the other students.

The doctor has been expecting you...

This week, the school welcomes four new students for the 2-year Fullskill course under Michael's tutelage: Louis Lu from Taiwan, Joan from Spain, Cesar from Brazil, and Bernd from Germany. We will be following their studies with great anticipation!

STUDENT HIGHLIGHTS

Workshops A&B

Students:
    Art, Bernd, Cesar, Joan, Louis Lu, Mun, Nine
    Craig, Dunham, Ivan, Louis, Sheikh, Varun 

 

    This week Nine did quite well on her pivot gauge practice exam. The official exam awaits.

Craig learned how to use the pantograph to engrave patterns at a reduced scale. As an initial product, he used it to engrave a display plate for the set of pivot gauges he'd made.

 

Louis completed the great wheel (truly great in size) for his school watch. This involved milling out the blanks on the jig borer, hand-bevelling the edges, and cutting the teeth on the lathe.

Thank you for reading!

Hope to see you again next week!
