Pole lathe for School groups

Had my first school group visit the park for a session of polelathe work, we made billets and got to grips with the basic hand tools such as axe's billhooks and draw knives. we showed them how to set up the lathe and got things set for the next session.

Its great passing on a little to others some thing that they would have never seen before. One of the lads there had seen it on the Country file the evening before and was dying to have a go.
