Upcycle with pallets - two day course I absolutely loved this weekend and I'm so proud of the things I made. Not only was this a brilliant way to learn to make things of pallets but Scott was full of helpful advice about woodworking in general. It seems incredible do have learnt so much in such a short and enjoyable space of time. Sally
Course reviews
Upcycle with pallets - two day course "I had the best couple of days on the pallet up cycling course. I absolutely loved it. Scott was so friendly and helpful, sharing so much of his knowledge for so many things. Amazing cake homemade by Scott’s lovely wife Sue who taught us how to transfer pictures onto wood as well as sharing her knowledge for many other techniques. We were made to feel so at home, just trying to decide what course I do with then next! Amazing fun, knowledge, cake, laughs and brilliant value, thank you again so much. Now looking at buying a sliding mitre saw while husband rolls his eyes !!! Jane x ----------------- Key skills for converting vans into campervans Kirstin - January Really informative, good fun and interesting weekend. Scott covered a huge span of topics and was able to give extra insight and tips. Suitable for handy DIY people and complete beginners- felt very welcome and came away with a lot of knowledge you wouldn’t get from a book or video. ---------------------- Key skills for converting vans into campervans Lee - Great course, thanks Scott, much appreciated. Also thanks for others on the course, really good to meet you and hang out for the weekend. ----------------------- Training course in upcycling with pallets. An introduction to making furniture with pallets for beginners in Somerset DawnI had the most amazing day with Scott. It was great fun and I "made a thing"!!! I was ridiculously proud of the garden caddy that I made and am champing at the bit to make more things. Scott was a great teacher - calm, knowledgeable, encouraging and extremely patient (especially when I kept changing my mind on the design). The hospitality was great and his space is brilliant - lots of ideas scattered around the place for future designs. Sue provided great cakes and hit the nail on the head when she said I was channelling the joy of my inner eight year old! I highly recommend this course and will be signing up for more (sorry Scott!). Terrific day all round. Dawn Response from Black Paw upcycle project: Thanks Dawn. You were great fun to have for the day and yes we would love to see you again. Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Scott Just a note to say thank you so much for a lovely day. You made us all so welcome and I learned loads!! And I can’t wait to use what I have learned on some projects. A brilliant atmosphere, very friendly and relaxed all the best Liz
Dear Scott and Sue, "Thank you so much for such a fantastic day of creativity, practicality and hands-on fun. You were absolutely amazing all day - endlessly supportive, helpful and patient. I learned so much and will definitely continue to explore and create more woodwork from pallets at home with my new-found confidence. Warmest wishes," Kate
karen - What a truly fabulous course you run Scott Sue and Max (black paw himself). I learnt so much and was amazed by how much we achieved in a weekend. Now inspired to create so much more! Photos to follow I’m sure
John - Earlier reviews have eloquently set out the contents of this course and there is no need to repeat them. What has to be SHOUTED out is just how good this course is! It is highly instructive, different, makes you bring out the creativity you never knew you had, keeps you totally engaged to the extent of wanting to skip the lunch break and it is GREAT FUN!! Scott is just an excellent, natural tutor with a great people instinct and he is very ably assisted by wife Sue not forgetting Black Paw owner, Max! What a friendly family. Nothing is too much trouble and you will never be left floundering. The weekend just hurtled by - do go for the 2 days - and I arrived home on Sunday night exhilarated, proud of my very modest achievements and tired out! Thank you Scott and Sue ...and, in case anyone didn't read this far, GO!
jenny - I had such an amazing time with you. I really enjoyed it and my family were amazed at my creations. Thank you so much Scott and Sue xx
Wright - A fantastic course - for someone aware of the basics but lacking confidence in DIY skills, Scott and Sue have created a very accessible, useful, and most importantly fun course! Plenty of great tips, not just on upcycling, but DIY and woodwork in general, the chance to be creative, and you end up with some unique (and practical!) items to take home. Scott is a really great teacher, and they're both lovely people - thanks both!
