[smartHinge] … the ease of installing compared to quadrant hinges is a great plus, as well as the general neatness, robustness and precision.
The box was greatly admired when I got home – many thanks for a great course!
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!
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.
We thoughrougly enjoyed the weekend, we certainly learned a lot, including what a fine pint shropshire lass is! As I mentioned I will, hopefully be coming back for more later in the year.
After having a few days to ponder the week and think about where I’m going from here with my boxmaking, I find I am more committed than ever. The week was just what I had hoped for and more.
My notebook, and head, are crammed full of techniques and ideas that should keep me going for quite a while … thank you for really inspiring me to have serious go at box making …
I thoroughly enjoyed the two days.
… i just got the box finished today (Sunday) – And getting lots of admiration. I really enjoyed the course and the relaxed and informative way you deliver it, plus the banter and the few tunes
Can’t thankyou enough for the weekend, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you for a great weekend that was most enjoyable and rewarding. Not to mention to meet some great like minded people.
We just wanted to say what a lovely time we had across with you.
The knowledge and experience you have and your willingness to share both was greatly appreciated. The experience has reinvigorated me and reaffirmed my wish to make workshop time a key part of each week.
thank-you for the 3 days of tuition. The one-to-one tuition was performed in a nice relaxed friendly atmosphere. A very enjoyable time spent in your work shop picking your brains and delving into your knowledge – which was expounded generously. Thanks for the course. It really was excellent. I did learn a lot.
My reason for coming along … was primarily to get started on making boxes to as high a standard as I could manage, but the course delivered on so many other levels.
These are some of the most beautiful boxes I have ever seen. I’ve made a few lap desks and stationary boxes out of cherry and pre-engineered veneer – but your’s are incredible!!! WOW I’m impressed.
Inspiring to a budding box and case maker from Down Under. Often find myself viewing your gallery for inspiration – with many a “how did he do that?” moment mixed in.
Man I just love your work. It’s so very beautiful.
… thanks for such an informative, constructive and enjoyable course. The other participants added to the whole ambience.
[smartHinge] – very nice and super-easy to install
