This course has been specifically developed to enable the complete novice to turn a unique spice mill (using a crushmill mechanism) with a little help from myself. For example, the pepper mills below were created in one day.

Steps for the day:

• Introduction to machinary and health & Safety
• Select wood and design shape
• Rough out shape
• Drilling body
• Shape turning
• Polishing and assembly

This process is achievable within the day for most people, and I’ll provide help if needed.

Details and pricing
A full day will usually run from 10:00 – 16:00, however the start and end times can be flexible to meet your needs. For a one-to-one day, the price is £140. If you would like to come as a pair with a friend or family member, this is available at a reduced price of £125 per person. Included in the price is all tuition, use of tools and basic materials (most of the woods used are locally sourced from fallen, unwanted trees or joinery off-cuts). Refreshments will be available throughout the day. Bring a pack lunch.

Please note: dress in suitable clothing and footwear for a day in the workshop.
