Mark Evans reviewed: Furniture Restoration

"Philip is a mine of information and an expert in his field. I learnt a good deal about techniques and materials and have a way forward to complete my piece. I found the pace a little slow but understand Philip’s need for oversight. "

Philip Hodge responded:

"Hi Mark Thank you for your review. The pace of progress is really set by the person doing the restoration work & not the tutor."

Dale Turner reviewed: Introduction to woodworking

"My sister and I attended this course having never done any woodworking before. It was an excellent introduction - the content was perfect for beginners and Philip is a patient and knowledgeable teacher. We really appreciated the written notes we were given to take away too. Overall, it was a very successful day, we learnt a lot and had a lot of fun with a great bunch of people."
