… 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!
… thank you for an extremely enjoyable and informative weekend.
Absolutely Beautiful Craftsmanship! Gorgeous!
[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.
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.
It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and the other delegates, and I certainly took lots away from your teaching.
… I just wanted to say thank you again for a great weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it very informative.
Thank you for an excellent weekend, much learned in good company. Accommodation at Wood Acton is to be recommended as are your local pubs.
Many thanks for a wonderful weekend of tuition. Marion and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously. It really is good to focus on something completely different and forget the trials and tribulations of our routine work!
I enjoyed myself immensely and I learnt a great deal from you. I really enjoyed the whole experience and I now have a lovely box to show for it!
[smartLock] – the quality of the lock and key is amazing – just what I was looking for!! … for all my future projects I will only use your hardware as it is so superior to anything else out there in the marketplace.
Hi Andrew – enjoyed course and proud of my box!
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 thoroughly enjoyed my weekend. It gave me excellent insights into the equipment and processes needed to make fine boxes… I feel I have gained some basic skills now but I will have to put in a lot of practice to improve them! You may see me back in the future some time for additional tuition!
Many thanks for a very enjoyable weekend. Having been self taught, I now realize how much more there is to learn from those like yourself and the others on the course. Thanks again for passing on all that knowledge and expertise
Many thanks again for last weekend. I greatly enjoyed your course & very much appreciated your professional approach to box making & your attention to detail.
For professionals in a hurry, or home woodworkers frustrated by ill-fitting lids, smartHinge is a revelation, a real Eureka moment … worth the cost for a quality result. They will transform your boxes and boxmaking.
What I gained the most was to try and achieve the highest quality workmanship, not to settle for second best. Also very informative to see all the jigs and little workshop tips and tricks.
I seen your work and I think it was beautiful, as I’m a shopfitting bench joiner you rarely see such beautiful work as yours. I have a keen interest in marquetry and inlay and after seeing your work it has give me the push to get back into fine work again.
