Throughout the two-hour period, the CSC will be demonstrated by skilled training experts, who will show you how this saw combines precision with versatility, as well as its compact and clever design.

The system is very popular for making your own custom work tops to fit the workshop or to take on the road. The system is very easy to use once you have seen the setup, and we will be on hand to run through the full set up and what's in the box. An event not to be missed!

There will be an opportunity to get hands on, and make that special someone a Valentine's design. A great opportunity to get hands on, and fall in love with a new hobby with starter designs as well as those more complex.

Throughout the demonstration, Nathan will show you just how versatile the system really is, as well as running through the basic cuts. To finish, Nathan will make something a little different to show the art of what's possible. Don't miss your chance to explore the great range of tools from Arbortech and have fun at the same time!

We will also cover off how to select the perfect blade type for your bandsaw and the task you're undertaking as well as maintenance of your bandsaw. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions and maximise your existing machine or have a look at the fantastic range we have on offer here at the Newcastle store.

We get asked the question a lot in store about the best way to sharpen turning tools, so here we are with the different ways and principles of how to sharpen them. Helen will be running through various set ups from the fantastic Tormek, to standard bench grinding, and offering a chance to get hands on yourself to see what is the best option for you. Customers are more than welcome to bring a maximum of two turning tools down with them to have a go at sharpening.

Martin's enthusiasm, technical ability and artistic finishing has attracted an impressive following on social media and he promises an entertaining and informative demonstration. His relaxed presentation style has been enjoyed by hundreds of turners in the UK, Ireland, Scotland and the USA.
