The course was brilliant and gave me more information and ideas than I could ever have hoped for. The WoodRat, Router Lathe, Lathe and many ‘extra’ tools that I’ve never used are about to hit eBay!
Really enjoyed the course and learnt a lot … Your teaching style is superb!
… thank you for your patient explanation of how to construct better boxes and your attention to fine detail. We both came away with a better appreciation of our skill levels and how to improve upon them.
… I am really motivated to get myself kitted up over the coming months and start making some wonderful book boxes.
I would certainly recommend the course to anyone thinking about it. It takes you through all the most interesting parts of the box making process in a condensed timeframe. Excellent fun too.
Whether us humble amateur woodworkers can ever reach your standards depends on what we may have at our disposal, such as space, kit and determination to ‘go it alone’ without the benefit your guiding hand, but it is nevertheless very satisfying to see such positive results so suddenly.
The gorgeous flute case came yesterday, beautifully wrapped and quite safe. I am thrilled with it, thanks so much. My Haynes is now lovingly living in his new box!!
… thanks once again for a great weekend. Learned a lot even if I can’t put all of into practice yet. Have done three coats of Danish + two of wax – looking really good!
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 just had to tell you that I have both your books, and your boxes are incredible. I’m looking forward to your new book!
many thanks i had a great weekend, that went far to quick, the course was very relaxing and i learnt loads.
Thanks once again for a very intensive enjoyable course, four participants seems to be the ideal working number, everyone gelled together quite well.
Apart from learning how to make a box I was able to see how I should organise my garage/workshop without spending a lot of money on expensive benches.
Absolutely beautiful boxes – I fully appreciate them as I am a full time boxmaker myself. Maybe one day we’ll be fortunate enough to cross paths
You have a very special environment you have created that allows you to be both creative – which you naturally are – and to be where you want to be in this increasingly stressful world!! The standard and quality of the work that you teach and produce is exceptional, and certainly sets the bar for any aspiring novices such as myself.
Hi Andrew …… it was a great pleasure to meet you too …I had the most wonderful time and enjoyed your course immensely. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend!
I hope now that I will be able to take my box making to a much higher level using the techniques that you explained, so patiently, to us. I will certainly recommend people to take one of your courses when the opportunity occurs.
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.
I had an excellent time and learned a great deal, thank you. Plenty of ‘food for thought’.
Really enjoyed the weekend! You are a great teacher and your tips and tricks will be invaluable. I would really love to come back to learn more.
