"Fantastic day with Simon on the woodturning course. the right 'blend' of; instruction, demonstration and then 'letting me get on with it'. I wanted to learn the basics before I started jabbing a sharp chisel into a fast-spinning machine.

I learnt a lot, forgot some stuff, but Simon said he would provide back up at the end of a 'phone. I will certainly be able to use my own machine with much more confidence, but I will also be going back for more instruction.

Nice friendly chat over a perfect lunch, coffee regularly throughout the day. The wife and I will be looking to do (separate) things together. Really enjoyable experience, made a bowl too!
