Dean wyatt reviewed: Woodturning Course in North Yorkshire with Philip Greenwood RPT

"If you do Turn, if you don't turn, but would like to have ago or improve; then Philip's day will cater for all. It is an amazing day which ends too quickly. Philip's teaching is at your pace its a hands on instruction and teaching as opposed to a demonstration. A safety first, patient and calming style which will make anyone feel at ease and relaxed. I waited 16 months to visit his workshop for a 1 to 1 day. The day is full of inspiration and great ideas, you will take endless pictures of these to implement in your own space. The tool maintenance and sharpening changed my turning immediately, right tools for the right job. The correct handling takes away any fear or danger, I have undoubtedly put my self in previously. A fantastic day, great Hosts, I will return, keep up the great work Phillip, thanks for the tea Sue, my wife loved your glass work, PS a lovely shop too !! see you both again soon"

"A thoroughly enjoyable day with Phil. I learned a lot and came away with the confidence to progress at my own rate. Phil's Woodturning book (included in cost of course) is a mine of straight forward, easy to read information. For anyone looking to take up this hobby, I cannot recommend this course enough."

"Philip is an outstanding craftsman and teacher. I was a little concerned that I might have problems doing this via Zoom but he has the visual equipment to demonstrate what he is doing and takes time to make sure you follow him properly. The two hours I spent with him just vanished and I came away more confident and with the information that I need to go ahead. I would love do visit his workshop and do stuff alongside him to improve further but in the meantime will go away, practice and then come back for follow up zoom sessions as my skills develop. Highly recommended."

Philip Greenwood responded:

"Thank you Malcolm. I will send a video through soon."

Peter Hill reviewed: Woodturning Course in North Yorkshire with Philip Greenwood RPT

"I recently attended a 2 day course with Philip really enjoyable and very informative. I am a complete beginner and have come home full of enthusiasm ready to plan my workshop and purchase a lathe etc. Both Philip and his wife Wendy provide a very friendly relaxed atmosphere. I have learned so much including practical work on the lathe, and would recommend anyone wishing to learn or improve their skills to attend one of these courses with Philip.

"I had a lovely day learning woodturning with Phillip. He is very thorough in teaching best practice for tools, safety and setup and gave me an excellent grounding in woodturning as a complete beginner. I made a beautiful sycamore bowl and look forward to doing more in the future"

Ricky Williams reviewed: Woodturning Course in North Yorkshire with Philip Greenwood RPT

"Just spent two days with Philip. His knowledge and his informal approach made the course excellent. I came away with a better understanding of what I need and where I was making mistakes. His sensible approach to H&S was informative and not over the top. I also gained a few tips for saving money. I would certainly recommend his courses to anyone, either a beginner or someone wanting to gain more knowledge. The welcoming from his partner and Philip was second to none. Thanks for making the 2 days an excellent experience. Rick."

Heather reviewed: Woodturning Course in North Yorkshire with Philip Greenwood RPT

"An excellent day!! Philip was very knowledgeable and what we thought may be a hard day when turning your hand to something new was extremely enjoyable and rewarding. We were able to choose our own design for our bowls and were expertly guided throughout with lots of advice and top tips. We would definitely recommend this 1 day introductory course. A big thank you to Philip!"

"I have just had a great day with Phil and can highly recommend. A patient and safety conscious teacher who lets you get involved straight away. I left with a finished bowl and a head full of great metaphors to help me remember key techniques. Very friendly and welcoming. I can highly recommend as a gift for anyone or for those who want to learn / brush up on wood turning."

Sandi Lee reviewed: Woodturning Course in North Yorkshire with Philip Greenwood RPT

"I have always want to try my hand at wood turning, but never had a true understanding of where to begin and what is involved. I have just spent a great day with Philip and have left having completed my first turned bowl. Philip has a way of explaining things in such a way that an absolute novice has the confidence to use the equipment without fear, but with a sensible respect for what is involved. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in trying this new skill. Great course Philip, thank you for your patience and expertise."

Bob Griffin reviewed: Woodturning Course in North Yorkshire with Philip Greenwood RPT

"Had a great day with Phil. Last time I used a lathe was 45 years ago and I wanted to understand what would be involved in starting up as a hobby so beside the expert tuition on turning the other advice about the equipment, safety, tool maintenance and tricks/tips was absolutely great. He is patient, knowledgeable and no question is too silly so thank you Phil for helping me decide I definitely want to take this further."

Bob Mackenzie reviewed: Woodturning Course in North Yorkshire with Philip Greenwood RPT

"What a great day doing wood turning with Philip, the tuition was second to none he takes his time to explain, then shows you then, let’s you do it, then tells you how you are doing. The best thing was his knowledge of the equipment all the pros and cons what’s best for you. He listens to what you want out of the couse then works around you all the time explaining things at your level. You do have a laugh and a joke which does put you at ease. Overall a fantastic course for young and like me 65yrs never to old to learn. Would recommend this course run by philip to anybody wishing to take up a new hobby. Philip great to meet you and I am looking forward to putting all I learnt in to practice and enjoying my time I my Man Cave in France."

Drew Skinner reviewed: Woodturning Course in North Yorkshire with Philip Greenwood RPT

"What an amazing experience. Two days of laughs and fun and wood. Phil is a great teacher,allowing you to work at your own speed. Avengers nev picked up a wood turning chisel I felt very confident after just a short time getting stuck into my first ever bowl. Both Phil and his partner make you feel at home with a steady supply of tea and a wonderful local lunch.. by day two I was totally hooked and wanting to get my first lathe. This course is a must for beginners and experienced wood turners alike Phil knowledge is exceptional.. well worth completing."
