The instructor was very personable and entertaining. He gave detailed instructions about using the machines correctly and safely. We created a sushi tray out of rough cut cherry, which I modified to a small shelf. Highly recommend this class for beginners. Great value.

Great experience and instructor! Not only did we cover a lot of ground and get hands-on with a number of large tools, but we went over a lot of useful theory around selecting and assessing wood.
