"I had a very enjoyable afternoon course with Mick Hanbury teaching me about the Bandsaw. Mick was very knowledgeable and generous with his time and tips, my confidence and safety has increased as a result, thank you so much. Turners Retreat offer a huge selection of woodturning supplies and equipment (never quite seen anything like it) and the lady behind the counter was very helpful and polite, got 10% off some new bandsaw blades and free shipping :) Great course and great place to visit - brilliant. Thank you "
