Thanks so much for the course, it was so good!
Thank you for the beautiful baroque flute box – I received it yesterday in perfect condition. It is really a gorgeous work of art, almost too good to use in a utilitarian way. Nevertheless, it is a perfect case for my traverso, and I will treasure it.
I would like to thank you for an excellent course and I am so glad that I came on it before I tried to make a box.
I want to create something that is functional but pleasing to the eye….Your site, and your obvious passion and expertise, has inspired me to make an item that is something other than a rectangle with a lid….thankyou
A brief note to thank you for a brilliant weekend. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but I came away having learned a great deal and I was particularly impressed with your attention to detail which is at the heart of excellent box making. I wish I had come to see you years ago!
… the three days spent in your workshop were wonderful and exceeded my expectations.
I very much enjoyed the course – and what a lovely place! So sorry about the extractor switch line – hope your young man managed to fix it okay!
I had a really enjoyable and informative weekend. I found your approach refreshingly practical and am looking forward to finishing off the box. I’d be interested in doing a further course / private tuition with you next year so you’ll probably be hearing from me in the future.
Thanks … for a great weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed the course (which I hope was obvious!) and learned so much in terms of technique and tools. I now have to put some of that into practice .. but it does at least provide another excuse to buy more stuff from Axminster…..
It was great to see how you combine a number of interesting activities that on the one hand attract international customers but at the same time support the local economy.
… 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] – Just wanted to let you know I installed your hinges last week on a jewelry box made of padauk and ebony and they are just fantastic.
… I am extremely pleased with the result from your course. The rather subtle patterns in the veneer didn’t really come to light until I applied the Danish oil and then they glowed.
[smartHinge] – Just wanted to let you know the hinges came in last week and they are “beyondgorgeous”. I will be ordering more soon.
[smartHinge] I delivered my first box using these hinges today, and both the client (a collector) and I were extremely happy with the result
I really enjoyed the two days we spent together. I learned more than you can imagine. Techniques, tools and masses of useful tips all covered in very suitable detail.
Big thanks for the weekend course, I really enjoyed it … looking forward to your new websites and me getting busy in my shed.
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and found it to be everything that I had hoped for, and more …
Many thanks again for last weekend. I greatly enjoyed your course & very much appreciated your professional approach to box making & your attention to detail.
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 …
