I had a lovely two days building a workbench at Bevel Woodworking. I have this weird idea that you either need to make your own workbench or inherit one but there’s no way I could have built something this nice on my own. And now I have one that’ll last so long my kids will inherit it! Very happy with the resultread more

A most enjoyable and instructive day making a small table on Tommie Kelly’s woodworking course. The workshop is well equipped and well laid out, and the pace was right - not rushed but not too relaxed either. Tommie is an excellent teacher, clearly very knowledgeable but imparts it easily. And a useful table at the end of the day. Recommend.read more

I've done two courses here over the last couple of years and they have both been fantastic. The setup and equipment is great and Tommy ensures that the atmosphere is very welcoming. If you want to spend a day or a weekend learning something new in a friendly and relaxed environment, I highly recommend any of these courses.read more

A really fabulous experience. Having never done any woodworking before Tommy created such a comfortable learning environment and I’ve ended up with an item I’m really proud of. The day was a lesson in mindfulness, totally absorbing your focus from the first moment. I’m already searching for the next course I will take with Tommyread more

Absolutely fantastic course! I made an adirondack chair with no prior experience - Tommy gives you enough space to learn for yourself yet is there every step of the way to make sure you come out of the weekend with a fantastic chair. A really lovely way to spend a weekend with a practical and mindful approach. Highly recommend!read more

Just finished a two day course with Bevel wood working school. Can't praise Tommy enough. I learnt so much and I was delighted with the Adirondack chair that we made.

I did the Adirondack chair course and it was brilliant! Tommy is a fantastic teacher, the workspace is spacious and really lovely, the tools are the best maintained tools I've ever seen. It's a really great course even for complete newbies and it feels good to have something at the end of it, it's such an achievement! And I had a really lovely group of people around, so the social aspect is also great. Will definitely go back for more courses!read more

Not only is Tommy a great craftsman with a wealth of experience across all woodworking disciplines, but, as it turns out, he's a great teacher too. Gentle, friendly, and at times hilarious, imparting knowledge combined with positive encouragement was provided consistently throughout the two day Adriondack chair making course I attended this weekend. Don't be shy, don't doubt yourself. Sign up for a trip to Fethard on Sea, learn a new skill, meet a diverse and interesting group of fellow adventurers, and come home with both fabulous memories and a tangible reward for your efforts too.read more

Myself and nephew attended a tool sharpening day at Bevel Woodworking. The facilities and teaching were excellent. As I already had some experience of this difficult subject I wasn’t expecting to learn a huge amount in just the day. However we both really learnt a lot and it was very useful indeed. What’s more, Tommy makes it very accessible and interesting regardless of your level of experience. Sharp tools make things so much easier. No option for 6 stars?read more

Can’t believe I managed to make this chair in just 2 days. Tommy is an amazing tutor guiding us all through each step in making the chair. Learned so much using a variety of tools all under the watchful eye of Tommy who is highly safety conscious so no worries on that front. Anyone of any gender and capability can do his courses : nobody will leave disappointed. Tommy is extremely welcoming, patient and encouraging. I never did anything like this before so it was a challenge but so rewarding on so many levels. Ladies : don’t think you can’t do this… I did and I wasn’t alone ?. I look forward to doing another of Tommy’s classes in the near future. Thanks Tommy ?read more

Highly recommend this course to any beginners out there, looking for a fun course, with the added benefit of taking home a great chair! Tommy had so much patience when teaching me, and I still can't believe that I was using a jigsaw with confidence by the end of Day 2. Lovely calm atmosphere, small friendly group, and great instructor (each step explained in small bites). Will definitely sign up for another one. And added bonus is that it is in a stunning part of Ireland. Thank you Tommy!read more

Just back from an amazing two day course learning to build an andironack chair. As an absolute newbie to woodwork and carpentry, I loved every minute of it.

Fantastic 2 day comprehensive course where you learn to use many wood working tools under the expert guidance of Tommy leading to the ultimate prize of your very own Ardironback chair. The ease at which he explains every step is a testement to his skill and love of all things wood. The course is suitable for novice beginners like myself to knowledgeable DIYers. It is spaned over 2 days which is good as concentration levels don't wane !!!!! I would recommend this course to all and can't wait to go back for another project.read more

Mar 2018 - Spoon Carving / Jan 2022 - Birdhouse course / Mar 2022 tool sharpening / Jan 2024 Carve a Woodsprite Have just finished the Spoon carving workshop with my friend. It was a great day and I still can't believe that I came home with the beautiful spoons that I made from start to finish! I had absolutely no woodworking skills before this. Tommy was a great teacher, very patient, well organised and easy to get along with. I feel so proud of myself for what I achieved in just one day. I'll definitely be recommending Tommy and his courses to my family and friends. And you never know, I just might do another one :) Jan 2022 - Birdhouse course My friend and I had a really brilliant day making fabulous birdhouses from scratch. This was our second course with Tommy and it was just as good as the first one - the spoon carving workshop. Neither of us had any experience of woodworking but under Tommy's excellent tutoring we both produced stunning pieces of which we are extremely proud. My new birdhouse will take pride of place in my garden and I'm hoping my resident bluetits will use it this spring. We got to learn how to correctly use all the tools needed , from saws to spokeshaves to ribbon sanders, drills and everything in between. The whole day was relaxed and friendly and really enjoyable. I'm already looking to book my next course or 2 with Bevel. Mar 2022 Tool sharpening workshop I brought a load of my grandfathers tools along to see if they were any good and worth sharpening. I was delighted to find out that they were worth doing. It was another great workshop, thoroughly enjoyed it. Jan 2024 Carve a Woodsprite Again this was an excellent workshop. Tommy is a great teacher and is wonderfully patient with everyone. He has a lovely way of getting his points across. I was really delighted to bring home something that was way better than I expected to achieve. I'd like to do it all again.....and I just might!read more

12/12/23' On Saturday the 9th of December, I had my first experience working with wood in the Bevel Woodworking School. I genuinely would highly recommend the courses on offer at the school. The group was limited to eight which allowed Tommy to provide feedback and give pointers. I made a birdhouse on the day, during the process I was able to use a variety of power and hand tools, we were given the space to use the equipment which was all a very high standard. The class catered for all ability levels and there was a lovely atmosphere in the workshop as well as a stove which ensured we worked in comfort and warmth. I am planning to return in the new year for another workshop. Jack O'Connell.read more

Just finished the two day course at Bevel Furniture and Woodworking School building the Adirondack chair. The course was really well put together. Tommy is excellent very knowledgeable and very patient and spent time with everyone at each stage over the two days, Tommy only has a maximum of eight ppl on the course which allows him to oversee and guide each student. I would highly recommend a weekend creating your own chair it's very therapeutic! Thanks Tommy you were great craic over the two days. I will definitely be back!read more

I just completed my first course with Bevel Woodworking School this past weekend and really enjoyed the experience. I can't believe Tommy had no previous experience teaching. He explained everything so anyone could understand, was interesting to listen to and added a little humor for good measure.

Booked the sun lounger weekend course with Bevel Woodworking school. From the start of the first day, Tommy’s knowledge on woodworking shone through. He’s a talented guy and really set everyone up to leave with an amazing sun lounger at the end of day two. Tommy’s shared his woodworking experience with everyone in the group and gave time to guide people through their build. Overall the experience of the two days was great, Tommy sense of humour, easy going nature and great instruction helped me build a great sun lounger that I’ll have in the garden for years to come. Would highly recommend any of the courses from Bevel after attending this one.read more

I had an amazing June Bank Holiday weekend in Bevel Woodworking School making a beautiful Adirondack chair under the very watchful eye of the expert craftsman and wonderful tutor Tommy Kelly. I was a total beginner. I was aware of the tools but had never used any of them previously. The spirit of camaraderie in the class of 6 pupils was second to none. I found the experience of creating something so beautiful from wood, handcrafted by me, with help from Tommy of course, and amazing experience. I then got to take it home. As the chair wouldn't fit in my car I had it delivered for a very reasonable rate. If you would like to work with wood and create something beautiful that you can admire at home day after day, I would highly recommend taking this class. Thank you Tommy.read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Bevel Furniture recently for the two-day Adirondack chair making course. It was an absolute pleasure to be guided by master craftsman Tommy in the making of one of these terrific chairs. He showed us how to use a variety of both electrical and hand tools in a very safe environment. Tommy blends wit and wisdom and creates a fun and engaging atmosphere where our class of six, over the two days, brought our chairs from the "cutting out" stage to finally sitting in the finished article. We are now the proud owners of a pair of these gorgeous chairs which we made ourselves. Thank you Tommy!read more

Back again this weekend to complete the workbench course. Both mentally and physically challenging and 2 long days later the bench is complete. This is my fourth course to complete and definetly the most challenging. Tommy however as usual is a great tutor and has great patience (which was definetly needed). Class sizes are perfect to allow everyone the time they need to complete the project. Its a great way to totally de stress from the busy world we now live in. I will definetly be back again.read more

Update: March 2023. On the first anniversary of Adirondack 1, I returned to Bevel to make a second. As usual, a warm welcome from Tommy, in his fully fitted workshop with plenty of room for all 8 participants. Two full days of woodwork, banter and plenty of refreshments resulting in Adirondack 2. A large part of the experience is meeting other like minded amateurs - like Barbara 1, Barbara 2, Ken, Pat, George, Lorraine and Noelle. Only 79,980 hours more to get to genius level? Thanks Tommy, Carmel. I'll be back ? ---------- Oct '22 Just returned from my second trip to Bevel Furniture School. As usual the quality of the tools and materials are second to none and Tommy's infinite patience and expertise is guaranteed. PLUS, this time I brought home an awesome free standing Bird table, which I already treasure. They do gift vouchers too - a perfect Christmas/Birthday present? ---------- April 2022. Short Review: Book it, you'll love it, I promise, oh.....and you get to take a quality chair home with you, that you will cherish fo' evah. Longer Review: All I knew when I got to Bevel was that come hell or high water I'd be going home with a chair. What I didn't know was that I'd make new friends and have an insane need to get back there again for more of the same ASAP. As soon as I entered the workshop and met Tommy I knew I was in welcoming, safe hands. The setup in the workshop is fantastic, two to a bench, your own tools, (a little bit of sharing sometimes) oh and that apron to keep the glue off your tuxedo. Safety is paramount, and he has a unique yet subtle way of drumming that into you. There is a kitchen there with unlimited supplies of tea, coffee and biccies, but to be honest, you'll be so engrossed, it'll be a case of kitchen smitchen, like it was for me. Nice clean toilets too - all the comforts of home. The Adirondack chair course took two days, and there wasn't a minute that I was bored, add to that the craic, the learning and the LOL's. There were eight of us and from first meeting we were like old bosom buddies - Team Tommy, if you like. Everyone was so helpful and encouraging, and yes, I finished my chair and so did everyone else. A quality product that I will cherish for the rest of my days. There is just one big problem - it needs a companion, so you know...........! LOVED IT, thank you very much Tommy and Carmel (his financial advisor, Marketing Guru and Project Womanager) One thing to be aware of, when you do one of these courses, do make sure that your car can accommodate what you've made. Tommy will give you the dimensions in advance, it's up to you then to make sure your Fiat Bambino can take it.read more

Just attended the ‘Release the Spirit’ woodcarving course. What an excellent experience. A worthwhile day learning to carve. Having never attempted anything like this before the day was a great overall introduction to woodcarving and gaining experience and knowledge of using gouges and carving tools. Tommy demonstrates each technique throughout and you simply follow the steps. If you think you can’t do this or you have any doubts about your own ability, don’t. Anyone under the guidance of the instructor will be amazed by what they can accomplish in a friendly and supportive environment. Highly recommended.read more

I got this as a present from my 3 children and while the presents have improved over the last few years, this was by far the best so far. Tommy runs an excellent course and is a truly brilliant teacher. His explanations are simple and straightforward. The way he speaks to everyone gives you confidence to work away and lo and behold it turns out right. I must also mention my other classmates who were great to lend a hand if you needed it. I would encourage anyone to take a course or even several courses. I am definitely going back for another one or two or three of them. Must mention the Food in the local restaurant for lunch was excellent ? JJread more

I've done three courses at Bevel Woodworking and each one I've enjoyed greatly. As a hobbyist woodworker I'm glad I can spend a couple of days working on a project in a well-equipped workshop and have a finished piece. This is because of the great work that our instructor, Tommy, did to guide us through the project in a thoughtful, accessible, and enjoyable way. The project I did was the kitchen bench and has turned out brilliantly. The group of students that took the course with me were a great bunch. I will be coming back soon to do another project!read more

This is my second time taking a course with Bevel. I spent two days building a very sturdy workbench that I will likely have for the rest of my life. As a hobbyist woodworker, being able to work in a properly kitted workshop under the guidance of an expert woodworker, Tommy, has definitely helped me improve my skills. The course was interesting and the atmosphere among the group was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back to do more of the courses that are on offer!read more

Participating in a course at Bevel Woodworking School is most definitely a wonderful way to spend a weekend! The course was to make an Adirondack Chair. A gift from my husband and son, I had no idea what to expect and I was both excited and anxious on arrival. I need not have worried! Firstly this is a very professionally run business with safety a priority. The work space is well set out, and everything to hand that is required for the 2 day course and tea, coffee facilities available throughout the day. But it is Tommy that makes this course special, enjoyable and a great learning experience. He shared his expertise and had time and patience for each person, demonstrating, correcting and guiding us in the making of our chairs. It is a challenging 2 days especially, like me, if you've never used many tools before, but by the end I was gaining confidence and was really pleased with my finished chai I am already giving my family loud hints for another course as I would definitely love to go back!! Many thanks Tommyread more

What a wonderful day! Thank you, Tommy. I got a Christmas present of a Woodworking Course to make a Birdhouse, and didn't quite know what to expect. Tommy provides a great mix of professional cabinet-maker, excellent teacher, and friendly atmosphere. I learned to use tools I'd never used before, and found out how to PROPERLY use some tools I'd been misusing... and at the end of a day of "relaxing activity" I was able to take home a birdhouse that I had made myself and that has since been much admired. I'd highly recommend Bevel Woodworking School to anyone who is still thinking of "doing something". As for myself, I'm already looking forward to the two-day course to make my wife an Adirondack chair.read more

Just completed the birdhouse course a few days back. It was excellent. I'm well impressed with how much I've learned and I can't wait to hang my birdhouse. I'll definitely back to complete some of the other courses. Highly recommend it. I had zero Woodworking skills before this so anyone can do it.read more

I have recently completed a two day course at the Bevel Woodworking School to make an Adirondack chair. Having had no previous experience of woodworking, I was a bit daunted of what I could achieve but I needn't have worried. Under the patient and attentive eye of Tommy Kelly, I was taught how to use a wide range of tools and managed to produce a chair that I am extremely proud of and look forward to using for years to come. Thanks, Tommy, for a fabulous course and I look forward to attending further courses in the future.read more

A great two days making my own Adirondack chair under the professional and careful direction of Tommy Kelly. All equipment is provided and I loved the step-by-step approach to learning. Even if you have never made a chair before, or did any woodworking, you will leave with a great sense of achievement (and of course a chair!).read more

I just completed the Adirondack Chair making course. Despite my ham-fistedness and lack of skills I now have a really good chair. People have sat in it and it hasn't fallen apart, most believe I bought it somewhere. Tommy is a miracle worker and can teach anybody. He has remarkable patience and makes the whole course extremely relaxed and enjoyable. Absolutely brilliant.read more

Don't worry if you don't know a jigsaw from a plane. Tommy delivers clear personalised instruction that he tailors to your ability and to your thought process. You will go home with a chair that you probably imagined you could not make. But the course with Tommy is so much more than 'simply' making a chair. It is a chance to evaluate how you approach tasks in life. It is about a shared fun experience with strangers. It is a bit of a life lesson that Tommy delivers in an insightful and entertaining way. It is a simple yet beautiful experience that I will do again.read more

I recently spent a weekend with Tommy making an Adirondack chair. It was the first time I have ever made a piece of furniture, and I was completely delighted with the result, and the whole experience. Tommy took a group of about 8 of us with differing levels of ability, though a perfectly enjoyable learning experience. We all made near-perfect chairs, and Tommy's good humour and steady guidance made for a wonderful weekend and some new friends. Making a beautiful piece that will last a lifetime is extremely satisfying. I'm already booked, along with some of my classmates, onto our second course with Tommy. This time we're making a workbench. I cannot recommend Bevel Woodworking School highly enough.read more

Completed the Adirondack chair course with Tommy on the w/e of 28th Aug 2021. Really enjoyed the course, Tommy was a fab teacher, very patient, and very helpful to a beginner like myself! Built my confidence in starting off doing some woodwork and learning new skills and the use of new tools. Everything was. Token down into small steps for easy learning and I came away with a lovely chair now taking pride in my garden! Great crew on the course, had loads of fun and laughs and Tommy was a joy to listen to. Recommend for anyone thinking of giving it a go…go for it you won’t be disappointed! Thanks again Tommyread more

Went on the weekend Adirondack chair course. Really enjoyed it, the instructor Tommy was very clear, told you exactly how to do simple things. Like he demonstrated sawing, what position your arm should be in, how to start the cut, what people generally do wrong. He had a good sense of humour too which made the class a relaxed and enjoyable experience. I managed to make the chair and was quite proud of my accomplishment. The group were great, we'd have a chat over coffee, and you go and have lunch together at a cafe down the road. I would definitely recommend this even for complete beginners like myself.read more

Tom’s considerable experience facilitated an excellent journey, along which tool tips and tricks abounded, on finishing I was left with both a sense of learning and achievement. The achievement preserved in the final chair. It is a well thought out course which introduced us to tools, tool use, timber handling tricks and assembly. Social distancing was stressed and respected throughout. Tom sought constructive ideas to enhance the experience for those that follow, which typified his approach throughout. I’ll be going back for more.read more

A great experience, enjoyed myself immensely over the weekend and had great fun with the group. Would strongly recommend this to anyone.read more

At the weekend I completed a course on Marquetry which I really enjoyed. I have done other courses at Tommys workshop making larger things but what was extra special about this was its a craft that can be carried on at home with a minimum of tools and space . A kitchen table and a box for the veneers is all your need to produce impressive pieces. People might be put off thinking you need Artistic skills, but to start you off Tommy has patterns of many images to work from . It was a day well spent . Thanks Bevelread more

The Adirondack 2-day course at Bevel woodworking school was an absolutely fantastic experience. I only wish that the course could have run longer, because I was enjoying it so much. Tommy is an excellent teacher and despite the fact that we were creating a chair in just two days, it was a very relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. The chair itself is a wonderful design and to be able to say you made it yourself is a great feeling indeed. To anyone who is looking at the courses at Bevel and are undecided, I can honestly say you won't regret it. Doing a course like this is great anyway, but having the opportunity to be taught by an artisan like Tommy is an experience not to be passed up. I can't wait to get back for another course in the not too distant future.read more

I did a two-day course at Bevel Woodworking School in August 2020. It was excellently run and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd recommend it to anyone even if you have no previous experience of using the tools. Tommy is a super teacher and very patient. I agree with the other reviewers on the their positive reviews. This was the first course since Covid and the workshop was very well set up with hand sanitiser and wipes on every bench, at the entrance and in the kitchen area. There was a sink in the workshop too so no excuses not to wash those hands frequently! The workshop is spacious and has a high ceiling so we were all well distanced. I'd recommend Bevel School whether for one, two or a group of people. If you're doing the Adirondack Chair course make sure it'll fit in your car to take it home :) I hope to be back to do another course with Bevel - maybe even a second chair!read more

One of the best hands-on courses I have attended. I booked a weekend for my wife and I to each take on the Mackintosh Ingram chair. Tommy has a great blend of tutoring in place that allows you to skill up very quickly, while also able to get support from him on the complex pieces. All this is done with Tommy's great sense of humour and a lot of patience, as there were 8 of us there that weekend. We had no woodwork experience going in and really enjoyed the challenge of completing the chair. You will be surprised how much you can pick up in such a short time.

Alone you can do a lot, but with the right support system you accomplish so much more.

I did the two-day Course making the Mackintosh chair. I'm a complete novice who never did more than drive a nail or screw previously. I was in at the deep end, with a lot of information given out at once. So, I focused on keeping up with each stage and not worrying too much about the bigger picture. It was terrifying and exhilarating and one of the best things I've done in years. I gained experience with hand and power tools which I really wanted. There was 8 in the class & we all meshed well and helped each other when possible. At the end of the 2 days we all had completed the Chair. I look at mine & I can hardly believe I made it. It's a beautiful piece of furniture. I plan on finishing mine with Danish oil, which will subtly highlight the beauty of the beach. I'm making an upholstered cushion for the seat. The instructor is an experienced patient and passionate teacher, generous with his time and humourous. I would love to do another, preferably longer Course in Bevel Woodworking School. I hope to do so before too long.read more

Brilliant. Tommy is a rare tutor, his expert eye watches over you while also giving you room and encouragement to forge ahead yourself (with classical music, the background soundtrack). 5 of the 8 of us had no previous experience with woodwork and yet somehow (miraculously) we all ended up with a beautiful Argyle chair to take home after the weekend.

You get your own working area with all relevant tools to complete your project - all top notch. Even if you know nothing about carpentry, you will be an “expert” by the end of the weekend.

I booked onto a weekend course to make an Adirondack chair a couple of weeks ago. Spur of the moment decision after seeing the chairs on display at the Hook Lighthouse. I would say I've always had curiosity about woodwork but no prior experience. I didn't do any woodwork in school. The weekend was really enjoyable. To be handed a stack of wood on a Saturday morning and walk out with a solid chair you made yourself on the Sunday evening is incredibly satisfying. Class sizes are small which is what I wanted. Tommy is very personable and a great teacher. He explained each of the different tools and the correct technique for using them. He also gave very clear instructions for each part of the process along with 1-to-1 help and guidance. I've come away from the weekend, firstly with an amazingly comfortable chair, but also with new-found skills, knowledge and confidence. I'd recommend it to anyone and I definitely hope to come back for another course when I'm in the area again.read more

It just takes two days, lots of cups of tea, great conversations and the experience of trying so many different hand tools in this superbly set up classroom workshop. If you ever thought about doing a project with wood - this is the place to start! Also Fethard-on-Sea on Hook Head is spectacular for the weekend. Great food, lovely pubs and beautiful scenery.

I attended the Celtic carving course led by Tommy. It was really well organized and focused on learning by doing, with expert tips from Tommy as well as opportunities to learn from ones mistakes. I had never taken woodworking classes before but have an interest in crafts in general. Tommy made the learning experience fun and exciting, didn't even feel the time fly by, we were all too absorbed by the activity. Such a relaxed atmosphere and at the end of the day it was a great feeling to have your own finished carving as a souvenir.read more

I was delighted to take part in a weekend course at Bevel woodworking school making an Adirondack chair. It is a wonderful course - really well thought out and well prepared. It is designed so that students get to use a full range of tools. While Tommy allows maximum use of tools he is very attentive to every student and ensures that everyone learn as much as possible. There is a lovely mix of getting the work done and fun. Thanks for a great learning experience and I look forward to returning.read more

Signed up for the Adirondack Garden Chair, 2 day weekend workshop as a novice, with zero experience of working with timber. It was such an enjoyable process to be tutored through every step towards producing what I know will be not only a seat, but a talking point in my garden for years to come. I attribute my success entirely to Tommy' tutoring, for his skill and expertise, patience, steely nerves and good humour. The numbers are restricted to less than 8 and working with the group and chatting with everyone over tea and lunch breaks all added the enjoyment of the week-end.read more

End product was a beautiful Adirondack chair, but I gained much more in instruction and development in using various types of woodworking tools and techniques.

I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend course making beautiful Adirondack chairs. I had practically zero woodwork skills and over the course of the weekend learned how to use tools like a jigsaw, drill, plane, spoke scrape and chisel correctly, all while completing a wonderful chair. Tommy is a patient teacher and is there to help and encourage when needed but also empowers you to believe you can complete the project yourself. I highly recommend this course to any novice woodworkers as well as those with woodwork skills. Looking forward to the next course! ??read more

What a wonderful experience at Bevel Woodwork School for the Celtic Carving class last weekend. I loved every second of it. Tommy is a fantastic teacher, skilled carver, gentleman and great host... thanks for all the tea and nibbles. He also has a nack for knowing just when to pop up with words of inspiration, guidance and motivation :) I had never picked up a chisel before this class, but walked away with a carving that I'll be proud to hand on the wall!! A fantastic day and I'm looking forward to another class soon.read more

Great day with Tommy in Bevell Furniture. Tommy has the patience of a saint! Didn't know what a chisel was never mind ever having used one but at the end of the day went home with a wood spirit that I was happy with. All different levels catered for - attend as a small group or on your own. Look forward to see what courses are on in the coming months. Thanks for a lovely day. Margoread more

Myself and my wife attended Tommy's Adirondack chair weekend some time back and we both agreed that it was on of our best weekends in years. Tommy has the patience of Jobe and the knowledge and experience of a true craftsman. Tommy is a really great teacher providing hands on training, advice, encouragement and making it all a fun experience. Our boundaries were pushed a very long way but everything was totally in control and utterly absorbing. The 2 day course was planned in great detail and every aspect of the task was covered. The facilities and the tools supplied were fantastic. With his calmness, patience and advice Tommy made it an experience that was wonderful to be part of and we came home with 2 beautiful chairs which have pride of place now on our deck. Our only advice is go do this course real soon . Margaret and Jimmyread more

An absolute brilliant course. Could not fault it in the slightest. Tommy was an excellent teacher. He introduced everyone very well and no one felt left out. The course itself it's very good using a wide range of traditional wood working tools and handheld power tools.

Just completed the 2 day Adirondack Chair course (11/12 Aug) and enjoyed every minute. We jumped straight in and cut the first chair pieces using a jigsaw at our work benches, then used planes, drills, screwdrivers, set squares, etc which I had never touched before but soon felt at ease with the tools. Tommy explains each step but gives individual attention when/where needed. Our group was lovely and good fun. The two days flew by. Result - a great sense of achievement, I'm very proud of my chair! Definite 5 star experience.read more

Just come back from a weekend making an Adirondack chair and can’t recommend it highly enough. Challenging, tiring work that leaves even a complete novice like me feeling like I’ve really accomplished something.

I will definitely be heading back for another course in the near future.read more

Although it's a tiring two days it's thoroughly satisfying. To get from what we started with to a finished chair is jusy awesome.

Yay! I’m the proud owner of a very comfortable Adirondack Chair- made under the faultless guidance of Tommy at Bevel Furniture School. The two day workshop was time efficient and focused and the small group size meant that help and guidance were readily available. No woodworking experience was necessary and each of the 8 of us completed our chair over the weekend course. An added plus is that Tommy has contact with a courier who will deliver the finished product (in my case to Dublin) for a very reasonable fee. Thanks Tommy. I hope to return. Maryread more

Whilst working like busy bees, Tommy through his gentle, patient and woodworking expertise of thirty years, led our lovely group into creating our unique works of our art! Being previously,useless,in the secret arts of woodwork, Tommy was able to convince me that even I could make this wonderful chair, and feel proud of my handiwork.

Today I attended a woodcarving course held in National Heritage Park by Bevel Woodworking School. We were taught how to carve a wood spirit into a piece of timber. With no previous experience I was a bit apprehensive but this was put at ease as Tommy guided us through every step of the process. It wasn't long until our sculptures were revealed before our eyes. Over all this was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend the course. I'm delighted with my finished piece and he makes a great focal point in the garden ????????read more

Absolutely loved the experience of the Bowl Carving course in Bevel. Unbelievably, with no experience at all I left with a beautiful bowl carved with my own two hands. Tommy is amazing, such a genuine and interesting guy and a fantastic teacher; he managed the different speeds of working between the group perfectly and explained each step so well and so simply that it was impossible to go wrong. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, would recommend to everyone and will be thinking of going back to test my hand at some other projects.

I arrived at Tommy's bird house making class yesterday a tad anxious having no previous knowledge or experience of woodwork. Over the course of the day I used tools and equipment I never heard of, never mind handle before and I left on my journey home with a beautiful redwood birdhouse and a sense of pride in my finished work. I was one of a class of six and from start to finish Tommy was most encouraging and at all times positive. He provided everything needed for the project and his instructions were simple and clear. The atmosphere was very relaxed and tea/coffee was available with a sugar fix of biscuits or fruit for the more health conscious. I would not hesitate to recommend Bevel Woodworking School to a novice.read more

The two day woodworking course which I recently completed a Bevel woodworking School was one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences I have ever had. I did the course with my son who is 25 and it was an incredible adventure to have together. Tommy is a great teacher. He is patient and very encouraging and enjoys a challenge, teaching me was definitely a challenge! If you want to have a new challenge in your life and you want to meet new people in a friendly environment then this is the place for you. I have never done any form of wood work in my life and yet at the end of two days I had created a beautiful chair that I will have for life. It will be a memory shared with my son that I will cherish for the rest of my life. If you have even the slightest inclination to do something new and have lots of fun then I can only say, sign up for one of Tommy's courses. You will never regret it. I will be back again to face the next challenge, I am hooked!!read more

I only have limited carpentry skills and was daunted at first at what I was being asked to construct. But the teacher, Tommy, has an excellent empathy with his students and explains everything in basic easy to follow steps. You don't need any carpentry skills whatsoever to do his courses. He can teach and he puts you at ease through humour and just an easy going atmosphere. I made a really good chair which is easily worth half the amount I spent on this course. So divide the course fee by two - that's the actual cost. Also, there's a lot of talk about mindfulness at the moment. This is a real experience of mindfulness. All preoccupying thoughts went out the window and for two days I was just focused on the most ancient of wood skills. Chiseling, planing, sanding, measuring, joining - it's all utterly absorbing. This course is more than it seems - it's brain gym, flow, mindfulness, creativity and pushing yourself beyond your limits. Plenty of food, plenty of coffee and lovely heat from the wood burning stove. A fantastic winter experience!read more

Two glorious days away from it all and into the bargain you leave with a fabulous Adirondack chair to spend many happy hours relaxing in on your patio or in your garden. I've finished my second course and second chair a couple of weeks ago and I am definitely going back to Bevel to do another course and make something else. Tommy has a very professional set up. Each student has their own bench and tools. All of the tools have been carefully sharpened and prepared by Tommy in advance of the course starting. The atmosphere is relaxed and Tommy is a natural teacher with a very easy way of imparting information and tips. The courses are suitable for any level and it doesn't matter if you don't have any experience - you will leave with a finished article and with the satisfaction of knowing you made it yourself. Also you will benefit from the skill and experoence of a master craftsman. I'm definitely going back!read more
