The quality of your teaching, often invisible, takes far more skill than is generally appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend your courses to anyone.

... Before I booked my course I read the comments from previous students and being somewhat cynical I though I would wait and see. Now I have, and I can fully understand the very favourable comments

...The course was excellent. No flannel just solid good tuition...

Hi Tobias

...once I got back in my workshop I felt much more capable and confident and was able to work at the lathe without being apprehensive. I thank you for your guidance, expertise and patience during my time with you which has obviously been of great value to me.
I would never have believed that I could conquer the bowl gouge the way I have and that is thanks to you.
Your videos are excellent and your passion for all things wooden are evident. Thanks again for everything and I look forward to visiting you soon on one of your masterclasses.

Dear Tobias

Really want to go out and buy the kit today! Very many thanks for a really enjoyable and FUN course. You really love your subject and as with all good teachers that really came over.
We are totally hooked. Thank you for that.
- Sam & Sue Pool, Doddiscombeleigh

Dear Tobias

I felt I wanted to write to say thank you for the excellent course... Your reputation in the industry is unsurpassed. During my career I have attended many courses and is does not follow that Tutors, although professional and knowledgeable, posses the capability to pass the knowledge on to the student. This is something you do very well.
- Alan Cook, Devon.

Dear Tobias

...no time until now to write and thank you for the totally wonderful time Lindsay and I had with you in the workshop. I'm sure we learnt enough in those three days to keep us practising for a long time to come...
...thank you very much for your patient and considerate teaching and sharing some of your immense skill with us. Not only did we learn masses that hopefully will benefit our turning but it was also great fun. We really enjoyed ourselves.
- Love, Sally Hayes, Yorkshire.

...Extremely good value for money...

Dear Tobias

I am writing to thank you for a most enjoyable and instructive three days last week. I returned home feeling that I had learned a great deal and with increasing confidence.
As I know from experience a highly skilled practitioner is not always a good teacher; you are both. The ability to pass on some of your knowledge and skills and to couple that with building confidence and enthusiasm made last week a satisfying and pleasurable experience.
I hope to take part in another course with you in the near future. In the meantime I shall be recommending your courses to others.
- Sir Norman Wooding CBE, Bucks.

Dear Tobias

Thank you for such a wonderful five days in your workshop. It is difficult to imagine how it could have been better. You have endowed Mariellen and I with embryo skills to last a lifetimes. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the course, including the philosophical debates!!
The instruction and encouragement were first rate.
We will be back!!
- Graham Seabrook and Mariellen Romer.
