TRAINING WITH
ISAAC CURRAN
IN MY DISABLED ACCESS WORKSHOP
IN WISHAW
I am offering an introduction to woodturning
or
Rocking
Horse Making
THIS IS NOT FOR PROFIT AND
CHARGES MADE ARE
TO COVER COSTS AND INSURANCE
WOODTURNING:
I am a self
taught woodturner and a qualified adult educator (CG 730 Teacher Cert). The training is
carried out within my own
workshop
(click the
word workshop to see it) where I have a vb36
lathe and a Silverdrive Statesman 280 as well as a "Delta" Midi Lathe
which can be set up for wheelchair woodturning, the workshop is
fully ramped but I DO NOT HAVE A
DISABLED TOILET, access for a toilet is through the house and I
have a stair lift seat to cope with the stairs.
The
training is aimed at an introduction to woodturning and also discussing
and trying out various bits of equipment with a view to your own
requirements when setting up a workshop of your own. Training is
conducted on a daily basis from 10am till 3.30pm All I ask is a
donation of £50 per day
to cover the cost of heating, Lighting, tools, basic small pieces of
wood, larger wood blanks will be charged at cost.
ROCKING HORSE MAKING:
Once again
I am self taught you can see 2 of my horses in
my Gallery or check out
Techniques
and tips to see the most recently made horse. I am a member of
the Guild of Rocking Horse Makers, having made a few horses.
The
training will be on the basis that you will pay for your own wood and
materials, I can supply the advice, some of the tools and the time and
location. I am quite happy to steer you through the complete horse
or just the carving of the head (which is the hardest part).

DEMONSTRATIONS:
I am
available for Talks and demonstrations, to small groups, of basic
woodturning and making of small items using a mini lathe. All I
require is wheelchair access a space to set up my Mini Lathe and a power
point. The Talk and demonstration will last approx 2 to 2 1/2
hours Once again all I ask is a
donation to Wheelchair Woodturners to cover my costs of £60. I
do need to bring an assistant with me for these occasions.
