Jonathan reviewed: Introduction to Furniture Making with Hand Tools

"Kate was a knowledgeable and skilled instructor. The Yandles site alone is worth a visit and the cafe is nice. I had quite a few questions for Kate and she had useful answers to all of them. I feel more confident working with wood now."

Yandle & Sons Ltd responded:

"We are glad you enjoyed the course and your visit! Thank you for your review we will pass the comments on to Kate too"

Vivienne reviewed: Beginner's Woodcarving half day course

"I really enjoyed this course. There were five participants which enabled our instructor to give a lot of one-to-one practical help with our designs. She was obviously skilled in wood carving and was able to guide us well with the different cuts and how to handle the tools. I think I would have appreciated a short handout to take home with perhaps, the sizes of the tools we actually used on the day (I had forgotten by the time I got home!) and maybe some books suggestions or useful websites addresses (I did find it tricky to find simple templates online for instance}. But overall very good and the time went very quickly, as we were all so absorbed in the carving. Vivienne"

"Really enjoyable afternoon learning to carve wood with Anna. Very relaxing and easy to get started with."

Colin reviewed: A Wood Finishing 1-Day Course with Jamie Reed

"What an excellent course. I joined the course knowing that it wouldn’t really apply to what I produce (which is very small) but wanted to learn about finishing techniques in general. I won’t be applying a French polish to my jewellery but I learned about the different stains and finishes, cautions about the solvents and how they can react together and much more. Well worth it and I’m very glad I came along."

"Thank you very much for your review. We are glad that you found the course useful and will be able to apply the knowledge to your products."
