… your case was a hit at the festival in Nova Scotia. Everyone from Chris Norman and Matthias Maute to Rachel Brown and Pat Olwell himself admired it a great deal.
[smartHinge] – What would have taken me an eon to fit, were now done in around an hour and are so easy to install
As before I brought away with me some very useful tips and advice. All good stuff. Thanks for the coffee – always appreciated!
Firstly,thank you for a most enjoyable course last week. The box that I made … elicited many positive comments.
[smartHinge] – What can I say about those hinges? After fitting them I almost felt guilty. Like I had just cheated on an exam. It shouldn’t have been that easy. But it was and they were brilliant.
Many many thanks for an interesting and enjoyable three days tuition and especially for your flexibility that allowed us to cover a great many aspects of box-making. I feel well advanced in several areas.
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend with you in your workshop and certainly came away having picked up lots of useful tips and information, which I hope to put to good use in the future with my various projects.
Your designs are more then beautiful, they are art work in the purest form. I find myself visiting your site often for inspiration or to simply look over your collection. Simply wonderful.
Many thanks for the weekend, full of instruction, hints, tips and the chance to improve on my woodworking skills. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would happily go on to do the full 5 day course …
For the aspiring cellist to spend three days with Yo-Yo Ma would be something special, certainly. For an aspiring box maker to spend three days one-on-one with Andrew Crawford is similar. Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to visit Andrew’s shop in Shropshire, and had such a great experience others might like to hear about it.

Thank you for an excellent weekend – I really enjoyed the whole process and am looking forward to completing/finishing the box.
just a few lines now that the dust has settled, figuratively and literally, to say thanks again so much for the class a few weeks back. To say that I learned a lot and also had a lovely weekend would be an understatement.

[smartHinge] – Deliciously simple, superb!
Can I say a huge thank you for my course, I have learnt so much from you together with the way it was put across,thanks. The coffee was good as well!
I really enjoyed the weekend and it’s inspired some other ideas that I’m going to try.
The only thing I can say is “WOW” what beautiful work!
victorian farm – not only are you a superb craftsman but a budding actor as well!
Im really even more motivated now and have a better Idea of sorting my gear out. Once again thank you for the special weekend …
Rapture of raptures. Arrived via rocking horses near York. Adore boxes, adore wood, play the flute and early(ish) music myself. This is a wonderful site / sight.
