I've been reading with interest of the Lathe Cut Camps which have been held in the USA over the past couple of years: I'm especially drawn to the description "THIS CAMP FOCUSES ON NEWBIES AND THOSE WITHOUT MACHINES, BUT WHO WANT TO LEARN AND SEE IF INVESTING IN A LATHE IS A GOOD FIT FOR THEM, OR THOSE WHO RECENTLY ACQUIRED A LATHE AND WANT TO LEARN THE SECRETS!"
I'm one of the first set described, wanting to see a T560 or similar in the flesh before committing to purchase. Has anyone in the UK proposed a similar event? I'm based in Sheffield, but would be prepared to travel just about anywhere in the UK for such an event.
Any thoughts from UK board members?

Re: Lathe Cut Camp in the UK?
Hi,
I'm based in Manchester and before I started lathe cutting, I spent 7 years in a university delivering technical workshops about sound. I held a 3-day disc cutting workshop at a local music venue in April this year, alongside DJ Mr Scruff (see here: https://www.brightersound.com/vinyl-weekender/). It went really well and everybody enjoyed it. I'd be willing to do it again if enough people were interested (around 5 maybe), we could find a suitable venue and costs were covered (the last outing was funded, so free to participants). Feel free to PM me if you wanted to do a one-on-one session.

Handcut, thank you so much for offering this! Let's see if there's any more interest for an event... if not, I'd be happy to discuss a one-to-one with you

Re: Lathe Cut Camp in the UK?
I would be very interested in this!! Currently in the process of trying to purchase a vinylrecorder lathe but would love to have some experience with one prior to travelling to Germany to purchase one.
I have been jealous of the camps being run in the USA too!
Super idea!
Edit: should have mentioned it would be myself and my partner so my vote counts for 2 people!
