Previous customer testimonials:
“What a delight the three-day course was! It more than met my expectations … thanks a million for a very special experience.”
Mike
“Everything about it was great, the small number of people taking part, being in a proper workshop surrounded by wood and tools, the encouragement from you and the others … having the chance to use machines that I had never seen before let alone used.
And most of all the help given by you and your positive attitude when I felt something wasn’t quite going right.”
Carol
“Finbarr’s table making course is excellent … a lovely friendly small group atmosphere. The finished table exceeded my expectations, and, as I had almost no experience of woodworking, that’s all down to Finbarr’s tutelage and skill.”
