Maker's bio

After a 24 year teaching career, specialising in carpentry, woodworking and woodturning, I qualified as a DATA accredited trainer, delivering subject and machine training to teaching staff in schools and colleges all over the UK. Due to my passion for woodworking in general, which is my hobby as well as my occupation, I have now decided to start offering courses at my fully equipped workshop in Stockport, for people who share the same passion.

James H reviewed: 2 Day Woodturning Course for Beginners

"An excellent course run by Mick, who was passionate about sharing knowledge and ensuring we enjoyed ourselves. 2 projects completed each day with the opportunity to try a number of different tools and skills. Thoroughly enjoyable 2 days and hugely recommended."

"Hi James Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the course. You worked really hard, even managing to overcome a bowl blank that decided to split, and ended up with some beautiful finished projects!"

Lawrence O'Donnell reviewed: 2 Day Woodturning Course for Beginners

"Just finished this 2 day introductory woodturning course. Mick is an absolute star! Knowledgeable, helpful and supportive throughout. His large garden teaching workshop is amazing! The course was well paced and allowed me to progress to a confidence on the lathe I hadn't expected, and at then end I walked away with FOUR finished projects I was really proud of! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. "

Cheshire Woodturning and Workshop Training Limited responded:

"Hi Lawrence Many thanks for such a lovely review. It was a pleasure working with you. I'm really glad that the course has helped build your confidence so that you can pursue this amazing craft yourself at home. You put in some hard work yourself and the lovely finished products are a well deserved reward!"

Andrew reviewed: 2 Day Woodturning Course for Beginners

"This was two days of blissful and purposeful activity. I was a complete novice at wood turning, but nevertheless came away with four pieces of work what I am really satisfied with, and which I thoroughly enjoyed making. Each project felt just a bit more challenging than the previous one. Mick is a patient and encouraging trainer, and great company to be with. The workshop is light and airy, and all the tools and materials are very good quality. In addition I felt safe at all times. I would heartily recommend this course to anyone who wants to create something beautiful."

Cheshire Woodturning and Workshop Training Limited responded:

"Thanks for reviewing the course you did at my workshop Andrew. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the course and were pleased with the quality of your finished products. Over the two days, you really applied yourself and I personally enjoyed watching you grow as a woodturner. Well done!"

Alan P reviewed: 2 Day Woodturning Course for Beginners

"What an amazing course... I was initially apprehensive of what to expect and do, having no previous experience of wood turning. This concern, however, quickly diminished once the 'hands on' activities commenced. We initially went through the health and safety aspects of working with machinery and sharp tools, quickly progressing to the actual making of something! Mick had an identical set up to us and progressively first showed us what to do and then we did it. The end results included a candle stick made from pine, a bowl made from mahogany and a pen made from Bethlehem olive wood. The end results, albeit saying my self were spectacular."

Cheshire Woodturning and Workshop Training Limited responded:

"Thank you very much for giving the first woodturning course I have run at my home workshop, such a great review! It was an absolute pleasure training you. The projects you made were beautiful and a real reward for your own hard work and efforts on the course. "
