Woodworking course for a beginner?
Hi Folks,
Can somebody please recommend a good teacher/tutor who runs a 1 or 2 day woodturning workshop for beginners in and around Brisbane (or Sunny/Gold Coast)?
Thank you.

Steve, (toolbagsplus) does tuition on the Gold Coast. I did a day with him earlier in the year and learnt more than I have in the last 2 years!
Cheers, Richard

If you're happy to travel to the Coffs Harbour region, John Ewart is excellent
I did a course with him at Trend Timbers in Syd and it was great.

You could even mix a holiday in with it
Cheers,
Dave

Thank you everybody who has replied. I've send an enquiry to Rob McKee and will wait for his reply.
I saw John Ewart's site and the courses he has on offer look great, unfortunately due to work and family commitments, I will struggle to get to Coff's Harbour.
