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.
