  • 5/5 from Valasce Woolley, attended Jun 2023: Adam was AMAZING! So patient and taught me more than what I came for. Going out of his way to teach extra tips and tricks. I had so much fun and could not believe the confidence I grew in myself frim creating a wooden box all by myself. I am coming back
  • 5/5 from Lin Burrows, attended Jun 2023: This class was fabulous! Great value for money too! We got to learn how to construct a box with rails! Adam had done heaps of prep work, even having planed the recycled timber for us! He also bought some of his own tools in which was a well-planned move as some of the workshop tools are beyond their best. Adam is a great teacher who patiently demonstrates what needs to be done with full explanations of what he's doing. He is happy to give the extra time to explain when things don't go as they are meant to with the task! The room was a great space, but the tabletops could do with some improvement as a few of the attendees found the uneveness made it difficult to gets the joins on boxes to sit square. All in all, full marks to Adam and ClassBento!
  • 5/5 from Diane Anderson, attended Jun 2023: Our instructor Adam was fantastic. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and extremely patient. I built my box and I am very pleased with the result.
