Susan reviewed: Furniture making woodworking skills for beginners

"Thank you very much for an educational, informative and practical day. I have learnt about wood, I was particularly interested in hand tools, so learnt about planes, saws, chisels and how to care for them including sharpening. I have learnt what I need on my workbench. Some really good practical advice on how to use the tools and how I need to use each tool. Thank you for your patience 'A super day'. "

Lee Furniture responded:

"You're welcome Susan, glad you had a good day."

Dan Price reviewed: Box making for beginners

"Does exactly as it says on the tin! A fabulous way to spend a day. Andrew patiently guides you through the process and techniques required, with plenty of clear demonstration and opportunity to have a go yourself. Looking forward to visiting again, once I've honed the skills I've taken away this time, to expand my understanding and knowledge further. Looking forward to it. "

Rachel reviewed: Box making for beginners

"Thanks Andrew for a really fun and informative day. I’m super happy with my box and having the chance to ask loads of questions as we went along has set me up well to start practicing on my own at home with various joints and techniques. I’d honestly not have had a clue where to start if I’d not done this course. Would definitely recommend and will be back for another course. "

Lee Furniture responded:

"Thxs Richard, glad you enjoyed the day!!"

Mario reviewed: Box making for beginners

"I came home buzzing after an amazing box making day. A steep learning curve for a beginner but every question or concern was answered, however obvious, and I gained confidence as the day went by. This made me consider the possibility of small projects in my garage. The box is a thing of beauty!"

Lee Furniture responded:

"Thxs so much Mario for your great review, glad you feel you have gained more confidence in trying out more projects. Take care Andrew."

Richard reviewed: Box making for beginners

"Had a great day with Andrew and learnt loads of tips and techniques while making the box. Andrew took great care in showing me how to go about the various processes employed throughout the making of the box while giving detailed explanations as to why things were being done a certain way. Andrew is clearly a very experienced and skilled cabinet maker and being able to have a one-to-one session with him is invaluable. He also showed me a few extra techniques to help me with some projects that I have on the go at home which was much appreciated."

Lee Furniture responded:

"Hi Richard thanks very much for your glowing review, much appreciated. Enjoy your box, glad you had a great day!! Andrew "

Ray reviewed: Box making for beginners

"The course is very "hands on" and thoroughly enjoyable, and he does not rush through the process so you can go at your own pace. Andy is clearly an excellent cabinetmaker as well as an excellent instructor. He explains every step of the way on how the box is constructed and put together; so even if you have no experience with using tools etc. Andy will ensure you go home with a great looking box made by your own hands. "

Lee Furniture responded:

"Thxs Ray for you great review, enjoy your new box, glad you enjoyed the day. Andrew "

Alex Mason reviewed: Box making for beginners

"I really enjoyed this box making course. I am a complete beginner and was lead through the process, shown what to do and this enabled me to produce an absolutely lovely box as a beautiful present for my mother's 80th birthday present. She adores the box. What a memorable day. "

Lee Furniture responded:

"Thxs Alex, glad you had a great day, and your mum loves the box, take care. Andrew "

Ben reviewed: Make an Adirondack garden chair

"Had an excellent day with Andy. Learned a lot of fundamentals and techniques on different machines and came away with a lovely chair that I'll be using in the garden this summer! I definitely recommend to anyone who's looking to learn the basics or develop their skills, or anyone who'd like to own a piece of original furniture that they made by their own hand rather than bought from a website off a production line. A very rewarding experience with a great bloke! "

Lee Furniture responded:

"Thxs Ben for your great review, hope u enjoy your new Adirondack Chair and sanding lol!! Take care."

Adam Green reviewed: Make an Adirondack garden chair

"Did this course was great, the fact that I came away with a Adirondack chair after 1 day was amazing, well worth the money, and Andrew was a great teacher. thxs"

David Vella reviewed: Box making for beginners

"Andy was a great tutor. I already had some experience as a hobbyist woodworker and having access to Andy to pepper him with questions and get recommendations on tools and techniques was invaluable. I now have the confidence to make nice boxes and I am working on getting some additional jigs being made and tools in my workshop so I can start practising."

Lee Furniture responded:

"Thxs David, glad your enjoyed the day, good luck with all your woodworking in the future."

Pete reviewed: Box making for beginners

"Really excellent day with Andrew. Went away with a lovely oak box with walnut splines but more importantly a great enthusiasm to make more and experiment with techniques learnt. Informal and ad-hoc comments and advice were at least as informative and useful as the taught topics and I have a notepad full of tips and recommendations."

"Thxs Peter for your thoughtful review, glad you enjoyed your day. Regards Andrew "

Ben reviewed: Furniture making woodworking skills for beginners
