Geoff Glover reviewed: Introduction to woodturning: one to one

"One to one course. Overall an excellent and informative course with Bill covering many aspects of wood turning- ranging from wood preparation, through to chisel types and sharpening. The usage of the chisels and types of cut on the lathe was particularly informative and Bills approach to the use of the gouges was informative and supportive. Bill demonstrated great patience and skill in assisting myself as a complete beginner and I would recommend the course to anyone who wanted to learn the basics of turning and the safe handing of wood chisels. Many thanks."

"I hadn't even seen a lathe up close let alone use one before .. until yesterday! As Bill said.. he has only been wood turning for 35 years and still learning. Nevertheless, I could not have hoped or imagined a more enjoyable introduction into this world. The wood, the grain, the tools, the bevel... Oh! And the sharpener. Really lovely bloke and his shed is a a wood turning Disneyland. Thanks "

John Springthorpe reviewed: One day salt or pepper mill woodturning course one to one.

"I had a great day with Bill, turning a pepper mill. From selecting the wood, deciding on the design, and actually doing the turning, it was a real learning curve, as I had never done this before. Bill knew exactly the level to teach, and the finished mill will be used."

Darren reviewed: Introduction to woodturning: one to one

"Had a fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable day turning a lovely bowl. Bill is a true craftsman, and clearly passionate about what he does and sharing that knowledge with others. Bill has created a wonderful workshop, [of which I am very envious :-)] and the pace of the day was spot on. Cannot recommend this course highly enough. "
