Latifah Jackson-Vaughan

Fantastic class! I learnt so much and everything was so well explained that it really made sense why each step was done the way it was and in that order. Kazu and Shane were so helpful and supportive! Love my little step stool so much!

Lutz Fiedler

I learned a great deal through this one day course - the facilitator Shane (and his off-sider - whose name I unfortunately didn't catch) were fantastic at teaching and demonstrating all that was required. Full of useful information and hints and tips re. the use of saws, the importance of measuring (and + more

Excellent class! Highly recommended! We learnt so much, in a thoughtful and fun environment. Our teacher was wildly knowledgeable, patient and caring. It was a blistering 40 degree day outside, and yet inside we were able to build and create for 6 hours. Loved it! Highly recommend!

The teacher Shane was fun, calm, and patient with us all. Clear instructions and great at helping us fix up little mistakes. Loved his quick explanations of how wood grows and works, gave a great context. Keen to do another more complex course.

Helena Greenwell

Fantastic class. The teacher was good and very patient with less experienced people. Learnt quite a few general skills and went home with a solid project. Only think is I think the workshop could have down without a break for lunch though.

Michael Schafer

Absolutely loved it, haven’t done woodworking since school in Switzerland, perfect introduction to get me going again and something hand made, without power tools out of recycled timber to take home, great teacher and bob hawkes pub 80m for lunch, had a great day, thanks!

Margaret Pham

I attended the woodworking class as an NDIS participant with my Support Worker. The teachers were good and I was able to follow instructions and participate in the class.

The session was great - lots of insights you'd be hard pressed to gather any other way. While I am an avid viewer of YouTube tutorials, this taught me so much more, and quickly as well! Could not recommend highly enough!

My adult daughter and I did the course today and it was terrific. The two teachers were very knowledgeable but relaxed and accommodating to us all. It’s a great set up and the project is a great level as an intro to woodworking. We enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Alison Wu

I really enjoyed this beginner's woodwork class! Inrgid my teacher and Luke were both very patient and kept the class running at a good pace. Walking away from that class felt so satisfying with a product you had made. I would definitely be interested in looking into more woodwork classes.

Learned new skills from the amazing teachers, both experts in woodworking, met nice people, enjoyed the relaxed vibe, what a great way to spend the day. And take home a beautiful little table for a cup of tea in my sunroom!

It was expensive, but the teacher was great and really patient with alll types of learning and levels of understanding. Was great to be able to take something home you e made.

Angela von Takach

We had a great day, with great teachers and a good balance between demonstration time and doing-things time.

Christy Newman

Such a fantastic workshop! Absolutely fine for a complete beginner like me, but ended up with a step stool I just love, and will keep forever. It was really fun to do with my partner but it would have also been fun to do alone or in a bigger group. Excellent teachers!

Ev Synnott

I had such a great time, thank you. After my first attempt at sawing a piece of wood I was sceptical about how my stool would turn out, but with Liz and Ing's expert instructions I am very happy with the end result.

Grégory Joseph

Great condensed intro to woodworking, good balance of process explanations, why things are done certain way, practice and tactical help/correction where needed. I now have an actually useable step stool to boot! Also love that this all made from reclaimed wood.

Elly King

This was a perfect class for novices like me! I learnt valuable skills and walked away with a useful object. The instructors, Ingrid and Liz, where really personable, helpful and chilled out.

Covered the basics of woodworking and had a chance to use different tools without any prior experience.

The best part was when the instructor gave tips about how to assemble a simple furniture from with + more
