Jim reviewed: Woodturning tuition in Wiltshire

"A great day with Andy learning the basics of wood turning. Andy was very welcoming and was relaxed in his teaching methods, which made me feel very comfortable throughout the day. It was just what I needed to set me on my way, being new to wood turning. Thank you very much."

Nick reviewed: Letter carving in wood

"My wife bought me a letter carving course for the day but Andy persuaded me to maybe consider wood turning as an alternative as I would get to try the machines that I don’t have at home. It was a full on day learning completely new skills and understanding the importance of sharpening tools! The whole day was interspersed with fun and humour and excellent cakes from Mary and I felt very welcomed and at home. My homework is to learn some letter carving from a recommended book using tools that I bought from him, sharpened of course, Overall a really fun, adventurous day in a well equipped workshop with a superb teacher. I will back with my homework. Would not hesitate to recommend."

Godfrey Chasmer reviewed: Letter carving in wood

"It was a truly wonderful day. I consider myself an experienced woodworker but the guidance given was superb and I look forward to practicing and adding letter carving in wood to my repertoire. As an added bonus, the day started with tuition on sharpening chisels and gouges. This has inspired me to update my sharpening ‘station’ in my workshop. A great day with 10/10 and 5 stars from me. Well done and many thanks Andy."
