Woodturning is Wheelie Great Fun!
Had the honour of teaching my first wheelchair bound woodturning student last week!
Needless to say, the woodchips have done their work and she is well & truly HOOKED! :U
I have modified the legs on one of the DVRs to be adjustable through quite a range.
Can set it for a shortie on a low wheelchair to a seven foot giant!
Much safer than using ramps & platforms and gives access to all parts of the lathe. Allows better body positioning for each planned cut.
Have a couple of pics for you to see how it was done.
I will be domonstrating at the Trend Timbers stand at the Sydney Woodshow (not with this stand tho). Would love forumites to come & say hi!
Cheers
