Tim Reed reviewed: Woodturning

"An excellent day learning to turn wood with Andy, a patient and understanding teacher as well as an entertaining companion. Starting with information about tools and lathe operation we then, after tea and biscuits, moved on to the creative part and ended up with a lovely wooden bowl. Andy, his wife Mary and their well-behaved dog Angus were a delight and I would recommend this experience to anyone interested in wood turning or just wanting to try something a little bit different."

"Had a very enjoyable day with Andy who spent the first hour explaining and demonstrating the use of many wood turning tools and machinery before allowing me some hands on experience in practicing some of the skills he had demonstrated. During the afternoon we made a bowl and this was a great experience to see how this was done and to have the opportunity to see Andy's skill's at their best. Again, I was able to participate at different stages and thrilled to have something to take home. A great day and thank you to Andy, Mary and Angus for being great hosts. Highly recommended to those who may be considering giving it a try."

"Just completed a two day wood turning course with Andy. When I arrived I was a novice turner who knew next to nothing about wood turning. Andy covered every aspect of wood turning in a very structured way, both theoretical and practical, which was paced at my level. I didn't stop learning from the time I got there to the time I left, and just as important, I enjoyed every minute!! Andy's knowledge of wood working, including turning, is second to none. I can honestly say it is the best course I have ever done, and I've done quite a few! I came away from the course a competent wood turner!"

"What a fantastic day! It’s been a couple of days since my session with Andy and I’m really pleased with how much I learnt. Andy is charming, entertaining and a font of knowledge which he’s happy to share. Great value. If you're thinking about taking up wood turning - you’d be hard pressed to find a better place to start. "
