• TESTIMONIALS •
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you, and achieved my aims of solving cross-grain construction, scraper sharpening, and oil/wax finishing.
Andrew – I just wanted to extend my thanks for an excellent day. I thoroughly enjoyed it and walked away considerably more knowledgeable and very enthused.
Both your work and your presentation of it are exemplary. As a fellow woodworker, writer, luthier, and musician, I commend you. Thank you for a delightful tour of your work and your soul.
I Would Be Proud To Acomplish Any One Thing You Have Done
Just a note to say thanks once again for the course. I found the course really rewarding and full of information and i am so pleased that i attended it.
Once your new book comes out I will purchase it as , your flute case that was at the show, I thought was the best thing I have seen in a while. Any way keep up the good work pal.
It has been a tremendous experience for me to make such a fine piece of woodwork (if that’s the right word) and I would say that, under your guidance, it is the best piece of work I have ever done and I’m sure it will be a family heirloom one day.
I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for a tremendous two day course. I was amazed at what we had managed to cover in just two days. It was great to be able to tap into your years of experience in box making.
Thank you for an excellent weekend, much learned in good company. Accommodation at Wood Acton is to be recommended as are your local pubs.
Pleasing. Movement. Balance. Tone. Multi-dimensional. Thank you for sharing your work.
My family, who gave me the course as a present, are very impressed with the box. You and I, of course, are aware of its faults but it would be unreasonable to expect my first attempt at working to such fine tolerances to be up to the standard you have achieved.
Hi – I really enjoyed the weekend – working with passionate, smart, like-minded people.
Firstly,thank you for a most enjoyable course last week. The box that I made … elicited many positive comments.
Andrew, firstly thank you very much indeed for running your wonderful course over last weekend and for your patience, tolerance and perseverance in watching over this particularly inept pupil, particularly whilst working his way through your stock of inlay strips.
Your work is absolutely stunning! As a fellow woodworker, I can appreciate the talent and professionalism put forth into your work.
Thanks for all this information and for an excellent weekend. I learned a tremendous amount and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Now I need to keep active with the boxes despite all distractions!
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for the tuition last weekend. Dad and myself really enjoyed our weekend in your workshop, and left feeling very inspired (and slightly daunted!) by the level of perfectionism that you give to your work.
Thanks for a very instructive weekend! I am looking forward to finishing my box. Thank you so much for the clear instruction – you have opened up a number of techniques I had not previously tried which is great.
I really enjoyed the two days and learned a huge amount in a short space of time (as well as ending up with a nice box). Thanks again for a great weekend.
Thanks for having me in your workshop for five days, Andrew. I enjoyed it immensely … I came away from the week with some valuable learnings – especially the ‘why’s’ of some of your ways of tackling tasks, your jig-based approach to simplifying and speeding up processes and your thoughts on keeping this particular type of box simple in design.
