Yep - my first and second years part-time at Sydney Technical College
(after intermediate secondary school, while working as an apprentice) at
Wattle St., Ultimo (now renamed some stupid thing like TAFE at Harris
St.) Hand-tools, lathe, mill, pedestal/radial drill, shaper, surface
grinder, sheet metal & more. It was exactly the same course for
fitters as well. Nothing Automotive 'till third year.

Getting a little OT here: I enjoyed the classes but far too slow, the
course was clearly set for the lowest common denominator students.
Bored the shitter out of me tho. Especially having the comprehension to
be ready to solo an aeroplane at 4 hours and later, a helicopter at 6
hours of instruction.
