A Brief History

Paul has been turning wood for around 13 years and is based in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. He is a member of both the Guild of Herefordshire craftsmen and the Cotswold craftsmen and he exhibits at a number of their events. More details of forthcoming exhibitions can be found on Paul's Woodturning events page. When Paul started woodturning, there was nowhere near as much information available on the web so a lot of the learning process was through trial and error. Being the sort of person that liked to experiment and push the boundaries of what he was capable of, this didn't deter him at all!
Having learnt a few things, Paul is keen to pass on some of the hard earned knowledge to other turners and groups through tuition and demonstrations. The articles and tutorials on this site largely originated from demonstrations and serve as a reference for those who have attended. Woodturning, like many other crafts, has a number of ways to achieve a given finished product. The text here describes the way Paul has become accustomed to working but there are other equally acceptable methods. The way forward is to find what works for you and to build on that.

Woodturning Demonstrations and Tuition

Paul is available for tuition and workshops for other turners. Evening sessions and day workshops can be arranged.
Woodturning demonstrations and talks can be tailored to suit different subjects and audiences. Contact Paul for further details and availability.
