The courses available from Albert are aimed at the complete novice through to the more experienced, but more advanced or specialised courses can be arranged. To be fair to the students numbers are limited to a maximum of two per course giving a better chance for a one to one tuition programme although up to four students can be accommodated for special cases.

- In Albert’s own words -
“The basic program begins at 0900hrs with an introduction to the lathe, tools and associated equipment. The correct and safe methods of working and the all-important methods of sharpening tools are covered. Various finishes, method of holding work to the lathe, health and safety issues. My experience will also assist in the selection of tools and equipment I can save you the cost of the course merely by advising what not to buy. The first morning is taken up by wasting wood, learning how to use the tools then in the afternoon the projects begin each logically moving on to the next lesson. The first day is spent primarily working between centres and the following day incorporates all that we have learnt moving on to face plate work. The amount of projects are dictated purely by the speed of progress. If you’re really quick you can put me out of business!
Lunch is provided each day and you will find yourself working in a comfortable and well-equipped workshop".
