I had an excellent time attending this course. David is a very good teacher with in-depth practical knowledge that he skillfully passed on during the class. I highly recommend him and the workshop and I am looking forward to attend more workshops in the (near) future. Despoina

David was extremly personable and made DIY easy to digest for those with no experience. Great class for anyone keen to learn more about DIY in the home (especially if you're a homeowner and trying to save money without cutting corners). Having 6 people to a class meant close attention was paid and we all had time to ask questions.

This is a great class and taught in a way that helps you feel like you can actually understand the content and go off and do things yourself. There was also a very nice atmosphere to the class which I appreciated as an anxious person.
