Super quality engraved coin
I normally don't write reviews, butin this case I have to make an exception 🙂. I have just received my custom emblem coin. When I opened the box I was amazed by the result. Super quality. Perfectly engraved. The background ( in my case the wood texture ) was very beautiful, the logo was very clear and even the small letters were very easy to read. I will definately order more when I need them, and I recommend the coin to everybody. If you want superior quality, you will find it hete. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent course in every way
This was such a good course. Matt is an excellent teacher with a really great balance between when to help and when to leave you alone. We made such good progress that we even got to make a bookstand as an extra. While the odd machine was used for convenience the whole box was really a hand tool build as every machine step had a hand tool alternative.
I cannot recommend this highly enough for beginners and those wishing to improve their joining and hand tool skills. And Matt is so obviously a decent person who cares about what he does. I would happily do another course with him.

Very rewarding experience
Matt is a wonderful teacher. He’s very patient and takes everyone’s needs into account. He and his team are a lively bunch. You feel right at home and valued from the very start—regardless of your skill level. The workshop is superbly equipped, and the working environment is simply perfect for learning a lot in just one week.
Definitely my best and most memorable experience last year. Thanks again for this very rewarding week, Matt and team.

Keepsake box course April 2026
I really enjoyed the keepsake box course. Matt was a great teacher and the workshop was very well equipped. I learnt a lot during the course and enjoyed meeting like minded woodworkers. I would be happy to come back and participate in other courses and I would happily advise other woodworkers to do a course with Matt.

Very much worth the money and time spent
Very much worth the money and time spent.
Matt is an excellent instructor, the available materials were great and the shop setup and available tools made it easy to get to work on the project. The recommended accommodation (Furze Bush Inn) was also great and allowed to get to the workshop by foot everyday.
