Keith has always had a passion for anything made with wood. As a youngster, at school, he learned many basic woodworking techniques which he was able to use in adulthood with building and repairs around the home in his free time. In his early fifties, he took up woodturning but didn’t have much time to perfect his skills while also running his own very successful business.
Retirement came early when the symptoms of dementia at 62 began to severely impact his work. He enjoys his time working in his well-equipped home workshop, producing an abundance of various wooden articles. While some of his skills are not what they used to be as the symptoms of dementia take hold, he frequently becomes frustrated that things don’t turn out as well as he would wish.
However, with help and support from a small group of dedicated friends and family, he continues to turn out some pretty amazing pieces. He is a popular demonstrator at his local woodturning club and is passionate sharing his skills with anyone who asks.
