Great course. Wonderful tutor who allows you to explore your developing skills. Well resourced and organised. Learnt heaps. Highly recommended if you’re interested in getting into wood turning.

I have done two previous wood turning classes at Timberbits, enjoyed the experience and learnt a lot.
Simon Begg, the tutor, is the main reason I went back for another class.
Simon is a 'natural' teacher, his level of skill is matched by his patience and the calm atmosphere he creates. Making it a perfect learning experience. While teaching basic skills, he also allows freedom to explore those skills, avoiding a rigid approach to the craft.
There is plenty of equipment, of high quality, for all participants.

Simon is a great teacher. He was able to cater to all skill levels without anyone feeling left out or falling behind. I hadn't used a lathe since High School, many, many years ago, but felt very comfortable and capable from the very start of the course. He was endlessly patient and encouraging to all participants. The course was challenging and my brain said a big 'thank you' for the effort involved. I not only felt that I was learning a lot, but was amazed by the quantity and quality of my output during the 5 days. Matt and Darren from Timberbits were very also helpful and encouraging, I will definitely be doing courses with them in the future and have already recommended them to several friends.
