Mark Harrison reviewed: Woodturning

"Excellent couple of days getting an introduction to wood turning. As a complete novice, Andy provided a great introduction, fully covering the necessary safety and theory but giving plenty of opportunity to put them into practice. Amazing how much you can learn and produce in such a short time. Would thoroughly recommend!"

"I have just done the first of 2 days with Andy. His knowledge and instruction is impressive to say the least. Managing to get me to understand and vastly improve my sharpening; something many hours of trying to self teach from YouTube hasn’t managed! He then got me the wood turning bug with spindle and bowl turning, using a few different techniques. I’m looking forward to the 2nd day, as well as some more awesome hospitality from Andy, Mary and Angus."

"I have just attended the first of a 2-day woodturning course with Andy which was a wonderful experience. He and his wife Mary were very warm and welcoming and quickly set me at ease. We started by focusing on tools, the difference between scrapers and gouges and the methods of sharpening them, but soon I was getting hands-on experience of different techniques for both spindle and bowl turning. Andy's knowledge and experience of the subject are impressive, and he is a great teacher! I came away with my first bowl, an appreciation of the breadth and complexity of the subject, and keen to get in some practice before returning for day 2. Thanks Andy!"

"Hi I recently had a woodturning course with Andy which I thoroughly enjoyed and came away with a couple of projects , Andy is first class at teaching and has a relaxed but professional approach with a great deal of patients . He teaches you how to sharpen your tools and to use them properly while maintaining safety at all times . Time spent with Andy is well worth the money and his and his wife’ Rose show you great Yorkshire hospitality . Vernon ."

"I am taking the course as a series of half days, with practice in between, and finding it really helpful. Andy is generous with his extensive knowledge and passion for wood and is flexible to suit one's needs. Andy is also an expert on sharpening which is a fundamental building block for good turning. I am thoroughly enjoying learning the craft and I strongly recommend this course."
