I’m outfitting a new wood shop, so I haven’t used this yet. But the wood, the fit, and the finish are lovely. Worth it whether it gets used or not.

Matt,

A beautiful piece of work. I am learning from not only using your tools, but learning from your videos that patience and attention to details really pays off!

Ordered the full bundle of plans so I’ve got stuff to work on for a while. When used in conjunction with the detailed YouTube build videos these are excellent value for money and a great way to develop new or better woodworking skills.

This small item is exceptionally well made. It really cannot be found anywhere else, so a body could have opted to make it with less quality…he most certainly did not!

flawless. heirloom quality tool.

Essentially it is a short stubby screwdriver shaped like a door knob. However the quality is top notch and the design of the handle is a lot more natural to hold. If you have ever used a short stubby screwdriver or a door knob, you would realise the difference. Short handle offers more control and precision, which results in me not chewing up my expensive plane’s lever cap screw every time I need to resharpen the blade. (which I have done, on many occasions with a regular screwdriver). I have been on the look out for a dedicated plane screwdriver for a while, as there aren’t too many options out there and I chose the desert ironwood because it’s hard wearing and pretty to look at, also the aesthetic fits nicely with my expensive Veritas plane. It’s not an essential piece of kit, but I like my expensive Veritas plane. :)

A great set of plans for a ramped shooting board. I had to convert all the metric to imperial. Otherwise it’s perfect!!

It looks and feels excellent. Fits well when you loosen the chip breaker screw. This is one tool you just have to make room for in your tool box. Thanks Mat it was worth the wait.

Got the plans and followed the video series but changed the dimensions of the table and made two drawers instead of one. It worked beautifully and gave me a lot of insight and inspiration for future projects.

Exactly as it said on the box and in really good time

Definitely worth the wait. Great finishing and very nice to hold int he hand.

Thorough and complete. Very helpful as extra hand-holding after watching the videos. Exactly as would have hoped

Really well set out plans and having the videos explaining everything along the way was great. I appreciate it being in metric and American!

As brilliant as simple. Love it.

I bought an ebony screwdriver which was beautiful in every way. When a small crack appeared (wood acclimatisation) I got in touch. That's when the real value of buying from this independent British maker came into its own. Rob was so quick to respond with solutions and support. I am so happy with the tool and I know I can rely on this maker if things are not 100%. If you are thinking about buying - go for it, you are in safe, and very skilled hands.
