Hello Clem,

  Sorry I've been so long completing your survey but could not tear myself away from the lathe!

 1. Did you enjoy the course ?

  I did enjoy the course very much indeed. It had the right balance of instruction and " hands on "

2. Were all the questions answered satisfactorily ?

  Yes all I asked was explained very well indeed.

3. Did you learn all that you had hoped to ?

  I did and was very delighted with the finished item. I look forward to the second day and need it though.

4. Do you think you recieved value for money ?

  One to One, for a whole day ! Excellent value for money.

5. Would you recomend the course to others ?

  Yes without a doubt.

6. Is there anything else you would like to see included in the course content ?

  It was a pritty full day as it was and the second day should fill in all the blanks I will need, thank you.

 It was a very enjoyable and usefull day indeed. Since I came home and started working on my own rather poor lathe, I seem to have forgotten a lot now have had to learn to duck when pieces of wood fly off the lathe and bounce around the room. I have also split a few small pieces and once caught my knuckles on the heavy chuck - no splintered bone but a wee bit of blood. Will not do it again ! ! ! I think I will spend the next few weeks on spindle work and leave the bowl work until the next course. I also have a heap of old tools and would value your word on there uses and dangers !

Getting quite timid with all this flying timber ! Would Sunday 20th May be alright for the follow up day ?

Finally thank you very much for a most enjoyable day, You really insired and motivated me but it will be a wee while before I turn out a lovely box like the one you got me to do. Its not quite the same without you at my shoulder and taking the odd hand at the lathe !

All the best and keep on enjoying the turning.

Hi Clem,

  Just a quick note to say thank you very much for the tuition you have been giving my father ( David Woods ) for the past couple of weeks, he has thoroughly enjoyed the time he has spent with you and has been telling me how much he has learnt. We could not have found him a better gift for his birthday.

many thanks

Michael
