@Vic, I was on a few days break to Strathpeffer which is about 130miles from Glenrothes. I drive up the A9 to inverness and turn left, can't miss it.
@Jim, I visited the premises and it is very much a WIP. The schoolhouse is being refurbished as a Home and the canteen is being used as a home until the schoolhouse is ready.
Upstairs in the schoolhouse was being fitted with carpets when I visited and downstairs was the ( temporary ) shop that had a good selection of tools etc. There were Vicmarc spares and I was offered the Vicmarc pen jaws, ( they also fit the Record 4000 chuck ). As I said, very much a work in progress. The shop/showroom will be in the canteen with the lathe he uses for demonstrations and tuition.
@Alan, He has already had the first demo. of 2015 and is hoping to make it a monthly event. He also has started giving tuition.
Thanks Peter, I have no experience of the Vicmarc but it seems to have a very good reputation
