Maker's bio

I am a trained cabinet maker / furniture designer maker and have over 25 years’ experience working with wood. I have worked on projects for businesses and high worth individuals including those from the worlds of Hollywood and Premier League football. I also have TEFL training under by belt from the 90s and therefore come from a background of teaching. I taught woodwork part time for Start in Salford for 4 years and then took up training in my own workshop in 2014. Designing and making furniture, lighting, wall art and sculpture has been a passion of mine for many years and my hope is that all students leave the workshop with some of the enthusiasm I have for the fields of Art, Craft and Design.

Shivani reviewed: Fine-furniture making course - floating shelf day course in Cheshire

"I booked this floating shelf day course in Cheshire as a gift for my partner, and she loved it. David, the tutor, was extremely knowledgeable and patient, making the day both enjoyable and relaxed. We came home with a beautiful handmade shelf and learnt a lot about different types of wood and the basics of woodworking. The studio in Cheshire is great, well-equipped, and a pleasure to work in."

Richard reviewed: Fine-furniture making course - floating shelf day course in Cheshire

"An extremely enjoyable and informative course. David is an extremely patient and knowledgeable teacher - as well being a maker of very fine and artistic furniture. Relaxed atmosphere in the workshop - would highly recommend this course. David goes through important principles of planing, tool sharpening, drilling, marking out and finishing - all useful skills to apply to your own projects."

Allie and Mary reviewed: Fine-furniture making course - floating shelf day course in Cheshire

"‘The best birthday ever’ - my mums comment at the end of our floating shelf workshop day. We had such a lovely time and learnt so much. David was so helpful and attentive, everything was explained and demo’d and he made time for all questions (no matter how off topic they got). We would totally recommend this course to anyone looking for expert guidance in a relaxed setting. Thanks again David!"
