Safety is of prime concern at the event so please read our health and safety rules. As a new measure this year all lathes must have a guard fitted. Please also consider that dust is an issue, so consider projects that generate minimal dust. Please try to avoid bringing timber which is known to cause adverse reactions. If you aren’t sure, feel free to ask.
