TM Woodcrafts reviews

Catherine reviewed: Introduction to DIY at home

"What a day! I am someone who could not even hold a drill properly & here I an so much more confident to put a shelf, fix a leaking tap myself, handle the drill correctly, cut on the saw machine, paint the right way & so much more. Tyler is an amazing instructor & he gave me that confidence that I could do so many things myself. I wish I could give more stars but 5 is the maximum I can give. All the best, Cath"

TM Woodcrafts responded:

"Hi Catherine, thank you for your lovely review! It was a fantastic day and I hope you took a lot of positive things from the class! 🙂"

Thomas McMillan reviewed: Wood joints class using reclaimed materials

"I really enjoyed my course with Tyler and I learned a lot of new skills. Tyler is an excellent teacher and he was very patient (despite me making many repeated mistakes). He’s obviously passionate about keeping traditional woodworking skills alive and his enthusiasm is infectious. I’ve already ordered some new tools to put what I’ve learned into practice. I’d highly recommend this course. "

TM Woodcrafts responded:

"Hi Thomas! Thank you very much for joining me it was a pleasure. I appreciate your kind words and I am glad we managed to get there in the end! 😁"

Anthony reviewed: Wood joints class using reclaimed materials

"I recently took part in the 'Introduction to Wood Joints class' at TM Woodcrafts, and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in woodworking. Tyler (the course instructor) is fun, knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about his craft. He took time to measure the skills of the students in the room and tailor the content and speed of delivery to suit. His approach was supportive but not overbearing. Importantly, we were very attentive to safety. The course itself was great. Tyler explained the theory of everything he was showing us, as well as various ways to achieve a desired joint. For example, when cutting and chiseling he explained about the grains in the woods we were using and how different grains would cause the woods to split in different ways. When we made mistakes he offered ways to rectify them. Despite being complete beginners, all the students in my class completed three joints which were strong and reasonably aesthetically pleasing. Something I certainly wouldn't have been able to achieve before attending the course. As well as being a great teacher, Tyler was also a great guy. He kept the coffee flowing and he even gifted a few tools to one of the students who was just starting out, so that the skills she'd leant could be put to use. I will definitely return in future."

Chris Browne reviewed: Wood joints class using reclaimed materials

"Had a great day. Instructor was patient and instructive. You think it is just cutting a few bits of wood. Think again! After 8 hours your body is telling you it is more than just cutting a few bits of wood!! "

"Thoroughly enjoyed the day with Tyler. He is encouraging and enthusiastic and helped me get the best out of the course. I liked the flexibility of his approach to the course, adapting to the skills and progression of the course participants during the day"

Sam reviewed: Wood joints class using reclaimed materials

"Had a fab time on this course. Tyler is a really patient and knowledgeable teacher, plenty of tools and space for anyone in the class though definitely bring warm clothes. Learnt loads about joints which will hopefully help me with my future fun projects!"

Howard reviewed: Wood joints class using reclaimed materials

"Really enjoyable and informative class delivered by Tyler who is a highly knowledgeable, patient craftsman who clearly enjoys teaching. The pace of the course was adapted to suit those attending and Tyler imparts his knowledge without taking over. Plenty of tools to go round and we managed to make a range of joints including, butt, mortice & tenon, mitre, dowel reinforced mitre and dovetail. Tyler is very flexible and adapts the class according to student needs. He also allows plenty of time for questions throughout the class and a dedicated Q&A about all things woodworking (hand tools, machines, wood, techniques, buying, sourcing timber etc.) Tyler is very personable and makes you feel welcome and supports especially if you're a complete novice like myself. Tips - wear warm clothes (pending installation of log burner) and bring own food as the café is expensive"

Kean Brown reviewed: Woodworking power tool workshop

"I just returned back home from the Woodworking Power Tools Workshop with Tyler Mason in Congleton. It was my first woodworking workshop and I can only describe it as a fantastic day and 100% worthwhile. I learned loads on the day and experienced using a great range of different power tools and machines. Tyler was so approachable and extremely generous with his vast knowledge. His passion in what he does made the day so enjoyable and at the end, I came out buzzing with enthusiasm. I will certainly be booking on more courses with Tyler in the future and I would highly recommend his courses to anyone interested in learning about the wonderful subject of Woodwork."

TM Woodcrafts responded:

"That is amazing to hear how much you enjoyed it! I appreciate your kind words, you took to all the tools very well and I can certainly see you producing some great things in due course! Hopefully see you soon! Tyler"

"Tyler is an amazing teacher. Knowledgeable, patient and passionate. I’ve learnt so much from one session I actually could go away and do some of the things we did on my own. Which is rare! He creates a very relaxed and safe environment. A kind and inspiring person to be around in general. I highly recommend. "
