He happily showed me all the tools needed to complete the work, let me run wild with the project and offered support if needed. He explained everything in a way my intimidated brain could understand and really demystified the tools. Brett let me have a go at a drop saw, a table saw, a router, a planer and the orbital sander. All done safely with explanations of how the tools work. Also, just a really great guy and easy to chat to. The hours flew by so quickly. 10/10

  • 5/5 from Sinclair Brook, attended Jan 2026: Brett was fantastic! So generous with his explanations and ensuring we felt confident with all the different tools. Plenty of skills and tips learnt to translate to other things, not just creating a (very cool) chopping board. Highly recommend and would absolutely considering a longer intensive furniture making course.
  • 5/5 from Naanthini Manokaran, attended Jan 2026: I attended a 2 hour workshop as a complete beginner and it was such a great introduction to the basics. I learned about different types of wood, was shown how to safely use machinery and put together my own chopping board. Brett was friendly, approachable, and very forthcoming with information. He even offered extra guidance on using the power drill, which I really appreciated as a first-timer. The venue and materials were great and well set up for learning. What I liked most was how relaxed and non-intimidating the whole experience was. It felt very accessible and made woodworking feel enjoyable and achieveable. Highly recommend for anyone curious to try woodworking for the first time!
  • 5/5 from Paige Sheehan, attended Jan 2026: We came away so happy with the broad spectrum of knowledge we learnt during our 2 hour session. It was easy to see the passion behind the teachings which had us excited to start creating as we walked in. We came away with two (pretty great) unique chopping boards and information to get us started on our own wood working journey. Thank you for the class!
