course information

Come and join me on a half-day woodturning lesson (9.30am until 1.00pm) held in Mirfield, West Yorkshire.

This half-day course is designed for the beginner woodturner taking their first tentative steps into spindle turning. Spindle turning can often be a little stressful to beginners, with catches and dig-ins causing confidence to be lost. This course is aimed at heping beginners improve their spindle turning tool work by completing a simple, spidle project which they will take home with them. Sharpening will be discussed briefly, but is not a main focus of the day.

All tools and timber are provided, BUT if you own any tools and want me to have a look at them, I encourage you to bring them along. However, please note that it will be a very busy morning, and although I am happy to help sharpen some tools up for you to use at home, I won't have time to sort out a box-full!

The course will begin promptly at 9.30am, so please make sure you are there in good time to settle in. The order of the day is, briefly, as follows:

  • Health & Safety in the workshop
  • An explanation into the basics of spindle turning tools, with a brief discussion about sharpening
  • Choosing and undertaking your chosen spindle turning project (there are 2 to choose from)

___________________________________

Please Note:

The course will be quite intense with lots to learn so it will be quite quickly-paced, so feel free to bring along a notepad for jotting things down.

The course is limited to 3 people maximum to allow you the highest level of input from myself (it will only run with 2 people as a minimum).

We will have a tea/coffee break in the morning and the afternoon - although you can take as many additional comfort breaks as you wish!! 

____________________________________

The course will only run with a minimum of 2 attendees. If this is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the course. Should this happen, we will give you the option of moving your course to another available date within a 12 month period; but if this is absolutely not feasible you are entitiled to a full refund of the cost paid towards the course.
