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
