I've looked on his website but cannot seem to find where he's based (a map or address would be useful)?

He lives in the bounds of Dartmoor National Park according to his website, so John's right its a bit far from Leeds.

well im no exspert but would be willing (when i get my garage) to have some people come round for the day.....
it would only cost what materials you use, ie metal and sand paper etc.......depends on what you want to do ie learn, basic smithing or just make knife from flat stock (pre cut shape)........
just a thought, and as i said i am no exspert, a profesional course would always be the best option, dave budd is awesome and has helped me out a few times over the net........
regards to all...

I'll sign up to that... I'm just finishing restoring a hatchet and making a knife from a file was going to be my next project.... will make sure you get summut in return for your time tho'
That's a very kind offer and one I'll definitely take you up on. Might even bring you some eggs.
I'll drop you a pm so we can firm things up. I appreciate that you're not yet fully set up and so it won't be in the very near future.
I'd love to learn some basic smithing, but would be happy to start with some flat stock making.
Will drop you a pm. Cheers.
i dont have much free time but im happy to share what i can, and no need to give me anything in return, i just like to do it......
the garage was supposed to be handed over a week ago, and then 2moz but today they have said the 15th.......Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr........all my kits in the garden too.....
took my pants shed down as i thought i would have the garage, how wrong was i.....
anyway, i will ask my boss if i can use the area at work......

Thanks for the recomendation guys 
I know Devon is a long way from Leeds, but it is a great place to spend a few days. Just think, you've also got Dartmoor National Park up the road.

The Dave Budd course is amazing. I had one last weekend and it was brilliant. This weekend I spent making a sheath with the leather that he gave me. I would definitely choose him over any others in terms of knife making courses.
there are a few Blacksmith style courses about Dave Budd being one of them and one of the best
there arnt many Stock removal courses tho i think Owen Bush on BB may do them along with forge courses as well
ive sort of though about it tho no expert but it can be a HSE night mare especially with machinery etc I would only be able to cope with 1-2 people at a time and to be honest could make far more than the course fees if i used the time to make my own stuff
that said its fun to help some one learn some thing (plus you learn a lot your self)
and I have done it with the odd mate for free so HSE doesn't apply (doesn't mean its not safe but it saves a lot of paperwork and sorting out the machines)

i don't think Owen does a stock removal course (pretty sure not) but he does a brilliant bladesmithing course, i attended this weekend just gone and produced two forged blades:

the only person I know who exclusively offers stock removal courses is (or was) Mik Wardell.
Both Owen and I specialise in forged blades and forging courses, but we are both able and willing to teach people to do stock removal too I've had a couple of people come for stock removal classes, one refused to use power tools on account of not having access to them at home (so there was no point learning to use a grinder he hasn't got)
