<p>That is an interesting idea. Due to distance, 50 miles one way
at night, not this cat. But that could be pulled off at the LHS
shop I presume, and it would afford us the opportunity to use
their tools such as the big sander for those tackling segmented
work for example. Or could it be incorporated into Aaron's
demonstrating at A Line? If we wold ever get ourselves into a pen
making project it would certainly work too. <br>
</p>
<p>Most high schools have evening activities (mainly games) on
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. Wednesday in the
public schools are not scheduled so students can go to religious
training. I do not know what Luther does that night. But I
suspect the shop is mostly unused after school. And we could
invite students to it too.</p>
<p>Good the lathe loaner program is being taken advantage of.</p>
