Richard Stradling reviewed: Beginners woodturning course

"I completed the intermediate woodworking course with Ciarán in 2017, where we made the glass-topped coffee table in ash over ten evenings (now changed to 6 days over 2 weekends). This was a great success and the end result has been much admired at home. After using some of the experience gained to make some garden furniture, I then decided to make another table for my brother-in-law's 60th birthday. I did speak to Ciarán about some ideas and decided to go with turned legs for this hall table. Thus I enrolled on the woodturning course in 2019 and was able to find a cancellation at relatively short notice. Following this, I turned a set of four, relatively identical, 60cm long legs, which polished up beautifully. Expectations are now high and my workshop is becoming crammed with the available equipment. I would love to do another course, both for the knowledge gained and the enjoyment. Ciarán has taken me a long way in relatively few hours, and every minute has been enjoyable. During the day, he shares the projects that he himself is working on - some incredible pieces."

John Wright reviewed: Beginners woodturning course

"The wood turning course with Cheshire Woodturning was a birthday present from my wife and what a great present. The 2 day course given by Ciaran was quite intensive but there was such a lot to learn and he was a great teacher. There were 4 beginner ‘students’ and we all surprised ourselves with the quality of the items we produced. Ciaran was friendly, helpful, informative, funny and hospitable keeping us well provided with tea/coffee. Lunch at the local pub was perfect. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I hope I can now use the lessons learned at home."

ian Joynson reviewed: Four day intensive beginners woodwork course

"I would recommend this course even if you have a lot of knowledge of woodworking as I thought I did. It taught me a lot about woodworking, planning, thinking, sharpening tools and having more patience."

S Downing reviewed: Beginners woodturning course

"I can highly recommend Cheshire Woodworking courses and look forward to the next, whatever that may be! Ciaran inspires confidence, is not only passionate about his craft but also to teach it to others. I blame him for my obsession with wood! As a complete beginner I've developed woodworking and woodturning skills taught by Ciaran to have the confidence to tackle bigger and more complex projects. A real sense of achievement is gained from learning a new skill and having completed the woodturning course recently it is another string to my woodworking bow! The hands-on course, take-home pieces and skills learned inspire me to continue making things I'm really proud of and to try new things. Thanks Ciaran."
