William reviewed: Introduction to woodturning: one to one

"Had a fantastic day with Bill and made a Super Bowl thanks to his guidance. Thoroughly recommend the day. There was a glitch at the beginning in that there was an accidental double booking which nearly derailed the day for me and did for the other guy. I’ve left 5 stars as the day was brilliant, but craftcourses need to review how they avoid duplications."

Bill Bennett Woodturning responded:

"Thank you for your kind words William but I must stress that the double booking was down to me and Craft Courses were no way to blame."
