I had such an amazing day with Jake, who is an brilliant teacher. Went in knowing nothing and came out incredibly proud having made a beautiful oak bowl. Great equipment, lovely homemade lunch and now have a new found love of lathe work! Highly recommend this one-to-one tuition to anyone interested in woodturning!
I got the course as a Xmas present and I can genuinely say that it didn't disappoint!! Jake is a really good instructor, proved by the fact that as a complete novice, I managed 2 bowls and a pen, admittedly, 1 bowl shattered in half, but we caught up again with a second one. Lunch was great too!! Jake has definitely got me hooked and I can't wait to get myself a lathe and get started. I would totally recommend this course for anyone thinking of getting into woodturning or wanting tips and advice to improve their skills.
A great day with Jake. He explained everything really well and created an enjoyable working environment to create a beautiful bowl - the wood was stunning! A day well spent and very happy I signed up to the course.
What a fantastic day, Jake was a brilliant teacher, so patient. I had never done wood turning before and he explained everything so well. The course was one to one so I had loads of time to practice. I’m so glad.I booked and now I’m hooked
