Mandy reviewed: Informal Woodworking Session - Monday Evenings

"I had an excellent experience at my first session doing woodwork. I was introduced to a variety of equipment and shown how to use them safely. I participated in using some of the equipment, was involved in measuring the wood and cutting it ...and went home with a sturdy birdbox. Although I needed 1:1 assistance, it was very generously given. I paid for the materials at the end of the evening and plan on returning next week."

Dukeries Community Workshop responded:

"Thank you for those kind remarks Mandy. It was our pleasure to work with you. Hope to see you again Regards Alan "
