As we know finishing a piece is another skill you need to learn as a wood turner and something I have struggled with for 40 years,especially with finishes that sit on the surface but the information in these brilliant videos has helped me resolve problems that have plagued me for years. This absolutely brilliant Finishing Academy is a must watch for any wood turner . Thanks Martin.

After so many viewing of video and being disappointed that my finishes do not come near the expected result , I went through this program “Finishing Academy” and i must say i am impressed with the results. It is so weel explained and laid out that at my first try, I really saw an improvement in my finishing coming to nearly perfection. Martin really went above and beyond to make it so easy to understand that we can only congratulate him for his time and effort

I’ve been through all the tutorials and I really wish this had been available when I started turning. The content is exemplary, covering every aspect of finishing. Following all Martin’s detailed instructions will mean an assured quality finish every time.

Fantastic course, full of information and very well put together. The videos and pictures made all the difference for me, as I’m more of a visual learner. Great content to go back to and use as a reference guide when necessary. Thank you.

This is by far the most comprehensive instruction set on finishes and how to use them. The video and written content have been well thought out and Martins easy style makes it a pleasure to watch.
After completing this course I am sure it will enhance your turnings and bring them to another level.
This guidance helps differentiates the product from its competitors and will help beginners and experienced turners achieve a high level of finish.
Thank you Martin on an exceptional result

A few years back I was very fortunate to have a superb day of one to one tuition with Martin. The Finishing Academy is almost like the real thing. The lessons are professionally put together but with Martins gift of explaining , products, techniques and application in a very easy to understand manner. The lessons offer a wealth of information if you want to up your game when it comes to finishing your work. I thoroughly enjoyed course and highly recommend it to both new and experienced turners. Well done Martin, a superb addition to Hampshire Sheen

This is the most comprehensive finishing course I have come across to-date, well presented both visually and in text form. What stands out is the ability to go back and forth to review each section individually. The products that I have available to me in Canada are excellent and I find easy to use with total satisfactory results. Highly recommended for both the new and experienced turner.

Thanks. Easy to understand and complete. If a question comes up in a quiz its easy to guess the answer hasn’t yet been covered. I managed 100% in all the quizzes.
By watching the video 1st I found the quizzes easy and learnt a lot along the way.
I would advise that all the videos are watched 1st before doing any of the quizzes so you can judge what you have retained.
I reset all of my quizzes and redid them. Glad I retained the info hahaha

The course was not only extremely informative and well presented but will now be my go to guide on finishing. Well done Martin and teem this has got to be the best finishing guide I’ve found yet . I’ve been turning for 30 years plus and i would advise anyone new to turning to go through your course and learn finishing that would take years to learn otherwise.
Brilliant
