Welcome Steve to the forum.
I don't know where in Wolves you are but I know of a pro turner called Bill wilkinson who
has a workshop called 'Gifts from the Forest' based at Halfpenny Green Vineyard in Bobbington near Stourbridge.
If you are looking for advice or even just a chat he's a really nice guy, I do believe he also runs tutorials.
His Mobile No is 07811 646016 or just call in. ( oh yes, and it's right smack bang in the middle of a vineyard)

A warm welcome from Somerset as well.
You'll find this a really friendly site, with a wealth of knowledge that is shared freely.
Don't take the 1 in 100 badly, there are a lot of people who are 'voyeurs'
I know, I was one for months before plucking up to join in.

Thanks Robin,
Thank you John for the detail - i will be in touch with him, looks a great place,
Thanks Phil - the 1 in 100 was just a bit of a joke - i do alot of lurking myself, you would think thee were more turners in the midlands - all offering Tuition seem to be a bit far away.

Steve - find a club to join and you'll get tuition for next to nothing, as well as inspiration from having smart people with different ideas and opinions around you.

thanks phil, i joined 2 clubs - the one a great club i had to stop going to as it clashed with work which was a shame - and the other was made up of non turners just meeting for a chat so i stopped going
