Andrew Gaynor reviewed: Furniture making course: Fundamentals of Furniture Making Part 1 (beginner)

"This is a great course for anyone wanting to take their first step in traditional furniture making . The course focuses on settling up, sharpening and correct use of a hand plane to produce a perfectly flat and square piece of hardwood timber. The end product is a beautiful chopping board with bevelled edge. I found this course very enjoyable and learned a lot from Aidan who is an excellent and patient teacher. He is genuinely passionate about the subject and keen to share his expertise. I had a very enjoyable weekend and I am looking forward to doing the next course in the Fundamentals series."

"I had a great time on this 2 day course. Jarrad was our tutor; he was so passionate and knowledgeable. He got the balance just right between passing on his incredible knowledge and allowing us to find our own way with the project. He was always on hand to answer questions or help when needed and he kept it fun and interesting. I shared the course with four others from all different walks of life and it was great to get to know these guys too. I learnt so much and feel I have developed my skills a great deal. Can't wait to get back to the workshop! Thank you Aidan and Jarrad. "

"I wanted to get into woodworking for a little while so I went on this course to see if i would enjoy it. The whole experience was awesome, Jarrad was super easy going and a great teacher. I've definitely walked away from this with a new obsession for woodworking and I am now saving the pennies to get some tools together. "

Jonathan Richards reviewed: Furniture making course: Fundamentals of Furniture Making Part 1 (beginner)

"A great introduction to some of the basic skills in cabinet making. Jarrad ran the course I attended and he worked hard to make the workshop a very welcoming place. He clearly talked us through every step and was always on hand to help. Aidan dropped in occasionally and was always ready to offer encouragement. Its a 'hands on' course and each attendee had access to good quality, well maintained tools. Highly recommended."

Farnham School of Furniture Making Ltd responded:

"Thank you very much for your kind feedback Jonathan! It was great to welcome you at the workshop and if you have any further questions, feel free to contact us. All the best, Aidan "

Simon Stow reviewed: Furniture making course: Fundamentals of Furniture Making Part 1 (beginner)

"I recently took part in a 2 day course with AM Fine Furniture called "The Fundamentals of Furniture Making Part 1". I was taught by Jarrad, and it really was a fantastic experience and introduction to woodworking. Both Jarrad and Aiden were full of knowledge and advice. The information about tooling and sourcing wood has been very useful in planning my next projects and how I would like to move forward in woodworking. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys, and I am looking forward to the next course I can do with them."

Farnham School of Furniture Making Ltd responded:

"Thank you very much for your kind feedback Simon. We also very much enjoyed delivering this course and I am so pleased to hear you had such a positive learning experience. Any course follow-up questions, feel free to contact me. "

Philip A. reviewed: Furniture making course: Fundamentals of Furniture Making Part 2 (beginner) - Surrey

"I have recently attended the Fundamentals Part 2 course with Aidan after completing the part 1 course in the summer. The fundamentals courses cover the basic skills that are required for anyone embarking on a wood craft hobby or perhaps with career aspirations within joinery or fine furniture making. Following on from the part 1 fundamentals course, the part 2 course introduces you to slightly more complex skills with the marking gages, mitre square and the use of shooting boards with the bench planes, followed on with your first experience with hand saws, chisels, shoulder and rebate planes and spoke-shaves with the purpose of crafting a lovely mirror frame by the end of the course. As with the previous course with Aidan, he works on the principles of explanation, demonstration then practice, practice, practice with a healthy amount of correction and help along the way. This is an excellent way of developing your confidence and skills with the tools and gives you a real sense of satisfaction when you ‘get it’. The course structure and teaching is thorough, very well delivered and at a relaxing pace so by the end of day 4 you’re looking at the finished product where everything has come together nicely. Aidan is a lovely friendly guy and a great teacher with an exceptional level of skill and knowledge in his field and he shares this with real enthusiasm and clarity. I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and recommend it to other students of any age or skill level. I’m looking forward to completing some of Aidan’s other courses in the very near future. "

Farnham School of Furniture Making Ltd responded:

"Hi Philip, thank you very much for your detailed and positive feedback, it really means a lot. I am so glad you enjoyed the course and got that much out of it. If you have any follow-up questions, just let me know. Best wishes, Aidan "

"Such an enjoyable two days. Aidan is an excellent communicator and teacher. In addition to the core skills and practical guidance, he imparted a huge amount of factual and contextual information in response to our queries and particular interests. Aidan's co-worker Sam provided very useful additional support and advice. I will be signing up for the Fundamentals Part 2."

G Williams reviewed: Furniture making course: Fundamentals of Furniture Making Part 1 (beginner)

"I recently completed the 'Fundamentals Part 1' course with Aidan as the instructor. It's a 2-day course and has really given me new confidence to try new projects. Aidan is a true master of his craft and his portfolio speaks for itself. You'll learn so much under his tutelage. The atmosphere is relaxed but well structured and you'll learn so much in such a short space of time and have a giggle too. You leave the course with an increased knowledge in so many areas. I can't recommend this course enough for anyone wishing to get involved with work. "
