Sue and Richard reviewed: Woodturning for beginners

"We spent a very enjoyable two days with Stuart, learning the basics of woodturning. He was very willing to answer lots of questions and to pace the tuition to our individual needs. It was great to see an expert in action, to spend time in a real workshop, see all the tools he uses and get an insight into the creative process. An excellent weekend, thank you"

The Scottish Woodturner responded:

"Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed your two days. "

Sandra McGuire reviewed: Woodturning for beginners

"Had a fabulous day with Stuart. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with my husband and I. I loved watching him demonstrate his skills and passing on his knowledge of wood and carving. We cannot recommend Stuart highly enough."

The Scottish Woodturner responded:

"Thanks Sandra. Glad you both enjoyed it."

Vicky reviewed: Woodturning for beginners

"I'd highly recommend learning wood turning with Stuart. We took our boys for a 2 day course and they both loved it . We also had fun watching what they were up to and learning more about it. It was great to see them try something they could not normally get to do, and to feel like Stuart was keeping them safe but also teaching them how to manage the risks themselves. Stuart was really patient and let the boys choose what they were interested in and adapted to them. They are 8 and 14, so with very different abilities, but both got something out of it and left really pleased with what they'd achieved - we now have a very beautiful cup, egg cup, goblet, spinning top and garden dibber! They are now bugging us to get the kit to do more at home! The setting is also very lovely and we enjoyed feeding the robins on our lunch break."

The Scottish Woodturner responded:

"Hi Vicky, Thanks for the review. So glad they both enjoyed it and if you do decide on getting them some kit let me know if I can help. "

Robert Crawford reviewed: Woodturning for beginners

"Stuart took me through the course at my own pace and I learned a lot during the two days. I now feel more confident having been shown the proper techniques of woodturning. Just as important, I now know what not to do. Highly recommended."

The Scottish Woodturner responded:

"Thanks Robert. Just keep practicing."
