Nigel Rees reviewed: Introduction to woodturning: one to one

"I had not done any woodturning before, until I spent the day with Bill in his very comfortable workshop, which I understand Bill built himself. It’s lovely and well equipped with woodturning lathes and Saws etc. I really like the kettle which appears to have no off switch. Bill found my level and would give me tuition then it was up to me to copy the demonstration he had just shown me. Time was never an issue and Bill has patience and extremely good depth of knowledge which he is more than willing to share. I had a great day and took my bowl home, which I was very proud off. I intend to go again, it was very rewarding, Thanks Bill."

Stuart White reviewed: One day salt or pepper mill woodturning course one to one.

"I attended the one day pepper mill course with Bill and had a fantastic day. I have never done any wood turning before and have been looking for a course for some time. Bill was very friendly and welcoming and has a style that makes you feel at ease. The work shop is fantastic and really well equipped (including a wood burning stove to keep it nice and warm!). This course is a great way to get an introduction to wood turning and it's nice to come away with something that you've made yourself and will use for years to come. I will definitely be looking to book another day in with Bill in the near future. If you're looking for an introduction to wood turning look no further!"

"I have had several wood turning sessions with Bill and have enjoyed every minute in his company. He has skills a plenty and doesn't flap under a barrage of questions. He is patient, a calming influence when a particular technique is proving difficult to master and will work with you at your pace. The workshop is well equipped and the kettle is permanently on!! I do enjoy the fact the tutorship is with small numbers and feel that I am getting good value for my money. Happy wood turning!!"

"I spent the day with Bill attending his pepper mill course. I had a brilliant day and came home with something I was really proud. Bill was very patient and guided me through each stage. His workshop was also lovely and warm. Would definitely go again. Thanks Bill."

"I attended this one day course in the Summer and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd never done any wood turning before, and don't count myself as a practical person, but I found it to be a great intro and I managed to take a great looking pepper mill home with me at the end of the day Bill is very accommodating and a fantastic teacher. He'll work with you individually to ensure you are happy and confident with what you're doing at all times. I would recommend this course to anyone that would like to give wood turning a go."
