What You Get
Consistent methodology
Learn from one clear approach rather than collecting contradictory tips from dozens of sources. Les Thorne and I are both Registered Professional Turners, and The Woodturning School holds Provider of Training Excellence accreditation. You're learning methods refined through thousands of hours at the lathe and hundreds of students in the workshop.
Focused learning
Each video teaches one thing properly. No rambling, no filler. Watch during a lunch break, before work, or between projects. Small, regular practice builds better skill than occasional marathons.
Organised progression
The library is structured logically — foundations, techniques, projects, troubleshooting. Find what you need quickly, or work through topics systematically. Both approaches work.
Proven teaching
These aren't techniques we tried once and filmed. They're methods tested with real students, refined based on what actually works, organised to help you understand not just what to do but why it matters.
Ad-free experience
No interruptions. No waiting through adverts. Just focused teaching when you need it.
Why Bite-Size Workshop Works
Learning woodturning from scattered sources means piecing together contradictory advice, wondering whose method to trust, and often not knowing you've picked up questionable technique until it causes problems.
Bite-Size Workshop gives you a consistent foundation. One clear approach, properly explained, building systematically. You'll know what good practice looks like because you're learning from people who've refined it through years of professional teaching.
You get the confidence of learning from accredited professional turners whose entire practice is built around helping people develop real skill. Teaching that's been tested, refined, and organised specifically for efficient learning.
Ready to Start?
Bite-Size Workshop is designed for turners who want focused, consistent teaching that builds proper technique efficiently.
