I have published a table saw induction on eventbrite as requested by @devians, which can be found here due to the time commitment of running this induction there is a small, one-off fee of $20. This money goes directly to future improvements of the woodshop.
Hi Wixted - I am a new member and keen to get access to all the equipment in the Woodchop. I notice you have a table saw induction scheduled, unfortunately the induction is Sold Out. Is that correct? When will you be holding another induction?
I’ve taken a squiz and it seems that your access card wasn’t active in the back end and I’ve sorted it out. As @devians mentions above the only tools locked out for requiring induction are the Table Saw, Band Saw and Thicknesser/Planer.
As Brendan has mentioned
The Woodwork Tools that require Induction are Table Saw, Band Saw, Thicknesser/Planer
Sorry to keep bothering you - but do you have any idea when the next inductions to the above will be possible?
Hey Kevin, the Bandsaw and Thicknesser/Planer inductions can be done by anyone already inducted on those tools using the checklist(some checklists were on/in the yellow corner cabinet in the woodshop). The Table Saw induction is run as a group class by Josh(devians). I’m not sure when the next table saw inductions were planned to take place.
I was lucky enough to attend a table saw induction late last year. Aside from how to safely operate the table saw, I also learned that these inductions are very elaborate. There was some discussion about using the next induction as an opportunity to convert part of the induction into a video lesson. I imagine that would leave the practical and written exam as something that could happen on a Tuesday night and individually. I’m not suggesting that I have any training video filming skills, but if you’d like somebody to attend the next one to film another camera i’m happy to volunteer.
Hey @antifoo, we are grabbing the work in progress off the current editor when they are next able to get in, so once we do that we will have an idea of next steps. You will know when i know
Quick update for those hanging out for the table saw induction videos.
We’ve grabbed some of the last shots today and hopefully I’ll complete the edits this week. The next step is to put it online and make it part of a course.
We have completed all shoots, and we’ve finished 90% of the videos in editing. I’m super duper busy atm with life but it might be possible that the online course will be up and running in a week or two.
Big thankyou to all the helpers who have made this possible so far, and those members that have been waiting so patiently. we are soso close and i’m very excited.
