I will be holding a Beginner’s Woodturning Course for four evenings from Thursday 3rd November to Thursday 24th November, 7pm to 9pm, at the workshop in Castle Douglas. All previous courses this past year have been intensive all day courses, and this is a transitional course based on the old six week courses I used to run about three years ago, and still featuring on our web site.

I know there are a number of new members who have been waiting a while to attend a Beginner’s Course so would appreciate it if members who have attended my course in the past and want a ‘Refresher Course’ could let me know and I will hold a separate course for you, leaving this course for ‘newbies’ .

The course fee remains at £120 for the four evenings, and includes all materials, but you can bring your own wood and tools if you want.

Let me know fairly soon if you want to attend as spaces will be limited to 5. 

As in previous courses I would be happy to have a volunteer to help me run the course doing the essential tasks such as making the tea, but chiefly a second pair of eyes, and someone who could be ready to provide a sticky plaster or other first aid because you know I don’t do well with external blood (rest assured that in all my years of doing these courses no more than half a dozen drops of blood have escaped collectively across all students, and no other injuries have been sustained) If that volunteer can also help sharpen tools, or even assist student to sharpen tools that would be great and allow me to devote more time to the shavings side of things.
