Reviews from previous students:

“Had a great day with Bill. Very accommodating as my mobility isn’t good and my main aim was to ensure I was able to use a lathe sitting down. Very clear instructions, and patient. Great workshop as well, (very envious). Have now made some bowls which got better and better. Thanks Bill.” Paul 2025

“My father has wanted to try wood turning for ages and so I booked a course for the two of us with Bill. We had a super day, he explained everything very well and we came out with a very nice turned pencil or brush pot each, out of mulberry and apple wood which he supplied. Bill was very friendly and helpful and we can thoroughly recommend the experience.” Jonathan 2024

“I had the most fabulous day with Bill. It is a treat to come across someone who is a born teacher. Bill is very welcoming, friendly and above all, very patient. He explains everything in a clear and engaging manner and never made this novice feel inadequate. His workshop and equipment are first class. I cannot recommend Bill enough as an instructor and spending the day with him was a treat. Thank you.” Nicholas 2024

“I had never done anything like this before but Bill patiently introduced and demonstrated it, always paid attention to safety, and before long left me to learn, feel, and make my own mistakes. He was very friendly and patient and made sure that there was a plan and that I understood why things were done the way they were. It was both exciting and peaceful, and an excellent experience. I’m very pleased with the mill we made. Thoroughly recommend a day out of the normal flow of life with Bill and a piece of wood. Luckily for my family we don’t have a place for a lathe at home…” Ed 2024
