I made a thread for Josh to show lock stitching. If you search "Pics for Josh" you will find some pointers. I am on my phone and can't paste.

As mentioned Rob Fletcher is a top bloke. Dane Wood of Brampton Valley covers this area and is a good bloke as well -
What did you want for it out of interest?

If it ain't broke... I enjoy splicing but there isn't enough for me to set up a workshop. Why does he need a workshop?

Joe Public - how do you think they see the Arb world?
Tommy_B replied to Andy Clark's topic in General chat
Very good question, I personally see most people thinking that we're either multi millionaires who earn money in our sleep or we are just gardeners with ropes. I'm definitely nearer to one end of the scale than the other. This will be a very interesting thread if it stay on track -
I prefer 16 strand generally but I've done lots of OP 8mm. Some of them fly in and I've launched a few across the room! Try Armor prus Rich, both diameters are lovely to do.

I'm afraid it is accurate. You have described the ideal which is how it should happen. One of my closest mates is an NPTC trainer and some of the things I have heard are a long way from ideal. I'm not going to name examples as what I have been told in conversation is just that but he certainly has no reason to lie. Maybe if these courses are so lucrative, we should all be training and raking it in. Low overheads, all candidates showing up prepared and suitable and 3k a week. Why not:001_smile:

Looks good to me mate! As long as you follow the instructions then the strength will be there!

From where I'm sitting, trainers want paying and by Christ they earn it most of the time. You then have admin staff, cost of replacing equipment if required, overheads of work shop and cost of replacement tools, fuel, oils. Payment for someone to deal with timber and debris after course.The list could go on and on. Only 4 candidates on each course if I remember correctly so at rough guess each is paying about 130 ish per day. Not too hard to see where the cash goes.
