Robin Bown reviewed: Five day woodwork course - tools

"This five day course has been inspirational. Mark is an excellent tutor, and as there are only four participants, we all had support and encouragement when we needed it. I have come away feeling much more confident, and with plans to enhance my workshop. Mark has provided us with a useful list of tools to reference for future investment. I highly recommend the course, and will be returning! "

Robbie Grieve reviewed: Five day woodwork course - tools

"Just finished a five day course with Mark, the whole week was excellent. There were four of us, as it happens all doing different projects. Although slightly daunted to start with we were soon put at ease by Mark who was a great tutor. We’re were each supported through our projects but also given time to just get on with it. When an interesting point cropped up in one project we all gathered round to learn how to navigate a problem or deal with an issue. Each day we also had a short talk on a particular subject such as sharpening tools or measuring out. Lunch was taken sitting outside looking across the countryside to Helvellyn and chatting about our projects and carpentry. A very worthwhile course, well lead by Mark. I will be returning for another course next year. Highly recommended."

Dave G. reviewed: Five day woodwork course - tools

"Going to the Lakeland cabinet maker was a surprise present, I was a bit nervous before I went as I have little to no knowledge or skill. I need not have worried, Mark (cabinet maker and teacher extraordinaire) was really friendly and has a great way of mixing practical experiences using power tools with theory and teaching on methods and hand tools. I started with a few planks of (very nice) oak and ended up with a beautiful step stool (one of 4 possible projects in the first course). I have been inspired to have a go at home and am busy assembling hand tools and planning a workshop to have a safe place. If you (or someone you know!) is interested but unsure – I would say give it a go. If you don’t want to do more you will spend a week building something and have a great experience at the very least. Thank you Mark!"

"What a great way to spend 5 days. I felt relaxed throughout and have come away with something way better than I thought that I could produce. Fantastic sense of achievement. "
