Customer Reviews

By TrevorAdams on 27th November 2023

"I enjoyed the course very much and learned a great deal. Paul, our instructor, was very knowledgeable, experienced, and patient. He gave clear instructions and demonstrated each step of a process, then monitored the 4 of us to make sure we had understood what we were to do. I asked questions and these were answered fully, or Paul showed through demonstration the answer. I left the 2 day course with knowledge I didn’t previously have, in relation not only to the main topic ( turning) but in relation to timber selection, finishing materials, tools and better understanding how grain direction would influence the finished result. I made two bowls over the weekend and I left with those and a confidence to take the subject further. In short, a good course and worth doing."

"I cannot recommend this course highly enough if you are thinking of taking up wood turning. Our instructor Paul was very experienced and explained the basics of the lathe, tools, wood choices and some tool sharpening guidance. Max of 4 on the course meant real one to one tuition and I felt confident enough to purchase a lathe from Yandle and sons and take up this as a hobby. We all came away with a bowl. Bonus."

By KevBowler on 20th December 2022

"This course is ideal if your either new to turning or considering taking it up. In fact I’d go so far as to say it’s essential even if only to help you choose what to buy when you start out (stopped me from buying the wrong lathe) or to save yourself buying all the kit only to find out wood turning isn’t really for you. Paul, is not only very experienced but he is also very good at transferring the knowledge you’ll need, and I saved the hours of hardship that I’d have needed teaching myself from books etc."

By BenGrocott on 4th October 2022

"What an amazing experience, for anyone interested in understanding Woodturning, I can’t recommend this course highly enough, the confidence you will leave with will set you on the right path for sure. Incredible facilities, outstanding teaching and the refreshments are amazing too."

By SharonClarke on 20th August 2022

"Found the 2 day course really informative and thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor was really brilliant at teaching us and has the patience of a saint!! Has given me the confidence to use my lathe now. Would thoroughly recommend. "
