Jon's Workshop
A channel to document the building, setup and running of a home metal cutting workshop in the UK. Hopefully the content will inspire others to have a go and consider Engineering as a hobby or better still as a career. If I can inspire just one young person to consider Engineering as a career then I will be extremely happy.
My name is Jon, I live in Scotland with my wife Dawn and I am a time served toolmaker who has spent 30 years in Engineering (predominantly Aerospace) and I currently work in Engineering Management but still enjoy getting my hands dirty.
I have a dog called West (Border Collie) who will undoubtedly feature in some video's as he is always under my feet. I also have a second channel where I explore my other hobby, piano music, which you can find here: https://youtube.com/channel/UCZ28GnXDAsParFaCA-BVwvw
Please enjoy.
Jon.
