Recent reviews of 3 Day Intensive Hand Tool Woodwork Course for Beginners
- 5/5 from Liz Friend, attended Sep 2026: The course was really very good, Luke our teacher was excellent & a natural with a clear love for what he does. At no stage were any of us left behind & with varying skills we all produced a bench to be extremely proud of. Interesting, informative & fun, if you’re thinking about launching into woodwork this course is a great place to start & the ethos behind the business is to be commended.
- 5/5 from Nigel Smith, attended Sep 2026: Fantastic course for anyone that is starting out in woodworking. Well paced with achievable goals, I never felt rushed and all questions were patiently answered. Luke is a great teacher who can keep things moving along while keeping the atmosphere light hearted. The workshop is well equipped with plenty of tools for all. Everything that should be sharp is super sharp! The result was a decent saw table that I’ll use at home for future projects. Highly recommended course, I would definitely do another course of theirs.
- 5/5 from James Wilson, attended Jul 2025: Our teacher, Luke, did a masterful job of teaching our class about working with time tested hand tools, using reclaim timber, and covering the essentials of proper measuring and marking, hand sawing in a straight line, making useful joints, glue ups, shaping and cleaning using chisels and various types of saws. Even with such a packed agenda Luke was very knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and kind. It has genuinely changed the game for me by giving me the confidence to do things properly and even if mistakes are made it’s rarely a project killer. I’m delighted to feel my confidence return and I’m excited to attend further classes to keep the growth going Thank you and I’m looking forward to the next courses.
- 5/5 from Jacqueline Roth, attended Jul 2025: I highly recommend the hand tool woodworking course. It took me from a zero knowledge base to have the confidence to start tackling projects on my own immediately. Luke is a natural teacher and skilled at determining what each student needs move forwards. If you are unsure of how to begin with this satisfying hobby, I recommend you start here. You will not be disappointed!!
- 5/5 from Joanne Shaw, attended Jul 2024: I did the woodwork fundamentals and learnt so much! Luke was so patient and helpful he is a wealth of information. The studio is great, very organised and the class easy to follow. I went knowing nothing and left with the ability to make anything I want! Thank you Luke.
- 5/5 from Colleen Zurowski, attended Apr 2024: This was a fantastic introduction to using hand tools I didn’t even know existed! And as a wholly inexperienced woodworker I am very pleased with the bench I took home - made by me
- 5/5 from Nolan Phillips, attended Apr 2024: Wonderful setting content and delivery I will be attending more courses soon. Luke was great
Your teacher
Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville. Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools.  Lumberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes, ATT is one of the few places that caters not only to architects, planners, homeowners as well as carpenters and tradespeople but also to customers that have little to no woodworking experience and are embarking on DIY and student projects or trying their hand at repair, renovating or building. Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, and woodworking. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well. All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!
