Chad reviewed: Woodwork - lathe turning for beginners with Thompsons Wood

"Had a great day, was quite anxious at first but made to feel very welcome and relaxed by Jake. Jake is a very warm, experienced, generous and professional person. I have got a lathe but not used it yet so I am fully motivated to get going. The course was a very full day and well worth every penny, thank you Jake"

Paul reviewed: Woodwork - lathe turning for beginners with Thompsons Wood

"I was a little nervous prior to attending this course , my skill level at all things woodwork had been proven to be limited at school and hadn’t really improved over the next 50 years . However the warm welcome from Jake and his Partner Katie soon dispelled any nerves and soon I was ushered into the purpose built work area at the bottom of the garden. After a discussion on safety and how the day would unfold and the tools we would be using we got to work . Jakes style is very relaxed and calming with just enough input to keep you on track and guide your “artistry “, whilst always making sure you’re safe . There is plenty of time to make mistakes and not to feel rushed . Jake is always close by ensuring the tools you are working with are kept sharp and fully functional . The end result was really surprisingly good all down to the great tuition. I can’t recommend this day enough , don’t think about booking just do it Thanks again Guys All the best Paul"

"Jake is a great teacher, and skilful craftsman who is passionate about his wood turning. I would recommend spending a day (or more) with Jack. Not only did I turn out a beautiful piece, but I learned a huge amount that I will take back to my shed and lathe for the future"
