… I just wanted to say thank you again for a great weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it very informative.
last week did a 5 day one to one course with Andrew and had a fanatic time. Very good teacher, and lovely company.
Had an excellent time on the course (scouts and Louis XIV furniture not withstanding) and have had a chance to go through the photos and have enclosed some nice ones of you and the gang! When I came back from the course I felt full of confidence about all things wood …
I learned an incredible amount in the two days we had together. I think I will practise for a year or so, then come back and tune it up …
Personally, I learned an awful lot from the detailed information and guidance you provided. It was so much better that reading and video “learning” processes.
From starting the day with espresso, to the birds nesting in the loft and the bee’s in the wall. every moment of the experience was a treasure – the “AHA” moments were endless!
[smartHinge] – … couldn’t be more impressed or happy with the smart hinge.
Thankyou for the wonderful weekend I would highly recommend this to any woodworker …
Thank you for a very interesting and stimulating weekend. I went away full of enthusiasm and eager to attempt more boxes using the vast selection of wood that I have been lucky enough to inherit.
I’ve finished the box and Kay is very pleased with it (that’s a few more brownie points then!) Thanks again for your great course, I came away with new skills, honed old skills, great tips, great ideas and wonderful memories

I want to thank you again for the good teaching and the practical information. I almost learned more in those two days than I did here in Belgium in a whole year.
As a flute player (maker) and metal artist who has done a number of sculptural boxes/containers using woods and precious metals and gems, I truly appreciate your work – your attention to form, function and esthetic in all details is wonderful.
I am also delighted with the way the leather lining turned out it looks really plush. Once again many thanks for a really enjoyable weekend and a very satisfactory result.
Thank you for your hosting a great course last weekend. Very enjoyable.
Thank you for hosting it. I learnt a great deal from the exercises, much more than I had anticipated. I also learnt a lot of useful tricks and tips …
I write to thank you for your patience and attention during my stumbling progress towards making my first box. I learned much and now have to summon up the confidence to buy some equipment in order to replicate the result without your help.
thanks for weekend it was very enjoyable! You are a patient and encouraging teacher as well as an exceptional box maker.
Thankyou so much for an excellent weekend of boxmaking, you are a gifted teacher as well as artist/boxmaker. I acheived much more than I had expected as a novice woodworker. I definitely feel inspired to go on to do more and will be in touch …
your work is very impressive.keep the fire burning .i’m only 16 and i’m doing my technology coursework on jewellery boxes and yours is the 2nd best i’ve seen .good work
Thank you again for a throughly enjoyable and informative weekend course. I have since spent many hours trying to assimilate my thoughts and learning experience. I still have some way to go but I am relishing the experience.
