What our students are saying

Scott McDougall

“It has been a privilege to have Adrian impart his vast knowledge and experience over the last three days so concise and clearly, and to share in his passion and respect for the history of his craft and trade. The metalworking skills I have learnt will provide me with a solid foundation for the future.”

SCOTT MCDOUGAL • COURSE STUDENT
Rupert Gordon

“Superb 3 days of training/knowledge hand over. Really valuable, and crucially very good fun.  Also for me it was great to glean all sorts of other info from you about restoring cars.”

RUPERT GORDON • GIBBS GORDON
Marco Maurischat

“It was such a great experience and a great course. Thanks to Adrian and the team, I learned a lot about wheeling that will really help me reach my goals with my own projects.”

Mark using an English Wheel

“I could not be more happy with the courses…humanly and technically far beyond what I expected. A link with the past of this fascinating trade and a strong personal commitment make Adrian unique, amazingly skilled and the only one able to pass on the trade with the care it deserves.”

MARK VAN DE BOSCHE • CAR ENTHUSIAST
Julian Watts

“With great encouragement and enthusiasm Adrian elevated my existing ability and skills to the next level, during the 3 day Advanced course. His teaching methods, passion for the craft and personality resulted in an upskilling experience that was a joy to undertake. I have secured further commissions for bodywork restoration and bespoke sheet metal artisan pieces, as a direct result of undertaking this specialist training.”
