Though largely irrelevant to what I do at the space, my day job is as Industrial Chemist working in Hazardous Waste Management (formerly Oil and Gas).

Previously worked for sawmill and related in a joiners shop before uni; accordingly I'm reasonably capable at woodwork, wood machining, setting/fettling machines and sharpening saw blades. Unsurprisingly, I amassed a fairly compete set of joinery tools, and if you need a specific tool for a job I'm happy to lend many of them out to members.

I've become versed in metalwork/engineering including a variety of machining operations, heat treatment, forging, metal punching and pattern-making; through both projects at the space and working with the Engineering team at Elsecar Heritage Railway, it wasn't as inaccessible as I thought either.

I also loaned the space a Planer-Thicknesser; repaired, donated and installed the Radial Arm Saw; and started the pledge for, collected and installed the Hollow Chisel Mortiser. If any of those are going wrong feel free to pester me and I'll do something about it.

I'm an active (perhaps annoyingly so) member of the Safety, Woodworking, Metalworking and Tools Teams, and the Inductor for the Planer-Thicknesser.

-Hi,
+Though largely irrelevant to what I do at the space, my day job is as Industrial Chemist working in Hazardous Waste Management (formerly Oil and Gas).
-I'm Jelly or Joshua [Kelly], if you prefer.
-I'm an Industrial Chemist working in Hazardous Waste Management, so if you ever want guidance on what chemicals do, I'm likely to have a cogent answer for you... Or possibly quite a complex non-comittal answer, it depends how much I know about your intended purpose for them really.
+Previously worked for sawmill and related in a joiners shop before uni; accordingly I'm reasonably capable at woodwork, wood machining, setting/fettling machines and sharpening saw blades. Unsurprisingly, I amassed a fairly compete set of joinery tools, and if you need a specific tool for a job I'm happy to lend many of them out to members.
-I used to work in a sawmill and in a joiners shop before I went to university, as a result I know a reasonable amount about woodwork, wood machining, setting/fettling machines and sharpening saw blades. Off the back of that I also have a fairly compete set of joinery tools, and if you need a specific tool for a job or are unsure what tool might be best for a task I'm happy to lend you mine to try, or even show you how to use the right tool if I have something oddly specific for that job.
+I've become versed in metalwork/engineering including a variety of machining operations, heat treatment, forging, metal punching and pattern-making; through both projects at the space and working with the Engineering team at Elsecar Heritage Railway, it wasn't as inaccessible as I thought either.
-I'm slowly becoming versed in a variety of machining operations, heat treatment, metal punching and pattern-making. That all came out of a plan to make my own saw blades using a fly-press, which sort of snowballed into a full on interest in model (and maybe not-so model) engineering once I realised that it wasn't as inaccessible as I thought.
+I also loaned the space a [[Planer_Thicknesser|Planer-Thicknesser]]; repaired, donated and installed the Radial Arm Saw; and started the pledge for, collected and installed the [[Sagar_Chisel_Mortiser|Hollow Chisel Mortiser]]. If any of those are going wrong feel free to pester me and I'll do something about it.
-My boyhood dream was to own a steam-engine, but now with hackspace's help I'm beginning to see that I set my sights too low as a child... I should clearly embark on learning all the skills required to make one.
+I'm an active (perhaps annoyingly so) member of the Safety, Woodworking, Metalworking and Tools Teams, and the Inductor for the Planer-Thicknesser.
-I also loaned the space a [[Planer_Thicknesser|Planer-Thicknesser]], so if it goes wrong feel free to pester me and I'll do something about it.

-I'm also having a bash at writing some kind of guide to woodworking tools, and example of which can be found on:[[File:Woodworking_tools_book_-_example.pdf]] It's slow progress however...
