Alan Williams - a class from the Master

While Alan's major claim to fame is his global domination when it comes to Bandsaw Boxes, I have found the techniques he employs have helped me so much in my general woodwork, hence the post here.
His methods, honed with well over half a century of experience, are not kept secret in his 3 day workshop. His knowledge of timber, tools and techniques is awesome
We find we have a spot available in his 10, 11, 12th February workshop - first in will get the spot.

Feel free to call me if you want more info

Unusual - but still have that one spot left for Alan's workshop.
Any Interest?

Final spot was filled by a lucky visitor from England!
A magic weekend, and this is from an email sent to me yesterday from one of the participants:

I met Alan Williams briefly at a Woodworking show where he was demonstrating his bandsaw box techniques and I was instantly captivated watching a true master at work. So when I was told by his colleague Peter, that Alan ran some 3-day workshops teaching these techniques I couldn’t resist. I arrived for the workshop interested and keen to learn, but not really knowing what to expect. I left three days later feeling that I had just had the most wonderful experience imaginable.

The workshop setting, at Artisan’s on the Hill near Taree, is just perfect - a little slice of rural heaven. The (optional) live-in accommodation is clean and comfortable, and hosts Peter and Christine went out of their way to make me feel at home. The workshop itself is extremely well-structured and the pace “just right”. The mix of demonstration, question and answer, and hands-on doing meant that we applied what we learned straight away - in fact, we all left the workshop with three pieces of our own at varying stages of "finished". And with a limit of just six students, Alan was readily available to each of us when we needed an extra guiding hand. I cannot say enough about Alan’s teaching - he is a master craftsmen who clearly takes genuine pleasure in passing on his knowledge and skills, no matter your previous level of experience. He is a walking encyclopaedia of woodwork, and yet a humble and gracious man to the core. He really is a National Treasure. If you are thinking about attending one of Alan’s workshop, then stop thinking and just do it - you won’t regret it!
