Both myself and Graham want to say a big thank you for Saturday.....We really enjoyed the day and got so much out of it. To create what we did from a piece of ash, all the way through to the final piece was just amazing. I, for one, was particularly proud of my dibber!
You were very knowledgeable, welcoming and patient and we will certainly recommend you to others. It was great to spend the day with you in the woods around a lovely welcoming fire and kettle! We both enjoyed it so much that we may well take it a bit further so thank you.....

"Just wanted to thank you for the course. I found it really enjoyable, fantastic setting, convivial company and excellent teaching, letting me make something that looked professional. My wife, Mandy, was quite shocked with my dibber, I don't think she thought I'd be able to do something like that in a single day."
Just wanted to let you know, as a follow on to my taster day with you I booked on the beginners course with Paul Hodgson, he remembered you and wanted to say hi... I've starting making my own pole lathe and would have finished it off last weekend if the weather hadn't been so bad.

"Thanks for a hugely enjoyable day's woodturning tuition.... As experiences go it was definitely one to remember for years to come. I was pleased that I was able to pick up something of the basic skills and I found your teaching style very sympathetic. What a stunning setting too!"

"Simon's pole lathe taster course was highly informative. Having never previously done any form of woodturning, I was soon confidently using the lathe. Now I plan on lathing as a hobby. Simon is a great teacher, very helpful and full of advice."
