I taught woodwork in High schools for 27 years 15 -20 students in the room ,but was able to get a number of students in year 9 to use the lathe I have been retired since 1996 I don't think I would like to be there today.
I was talking to a woodwork teacher recently and suggested that I would come into his room and get a student on the lathe making a pen.
But OH&S stopped the lathe from being used and the school was thinking of selling the lathe because it has to be one on one and that is not possible in the school situation today.
So the students have no idea about the lathe. And this is one area that new wood turners come from for AWTEX

The issue with the Exhibition is not with the number or quality of exhibits, the problem was getting people, adults, not junior wood turners, to actually get involved on the committee that runs the Exhibition.
