Neon Saw | Woodwork Courses & Carpentry | Brighton & Hove - Sussex - Hove

I have attended the Woodworking Basics evening course and was not disappointed. We got to use a variety of tools and went into specific details as and when needed/requested. Mark is a great teacher, puts you at ease and makes sure you understand the objective of the class. There was some good chats and even a cuppa and a biscuit, which has really rounded off the evening. I will definitely be back for some other courses Mark has on offer.

The Neon Saw is a great place to learn basic to advanced woodworking techniques under the guidance of Mark Cass. His classes were informative, attentive, professional and mostly fun! I will definitely look into taking more classes when I can. I was sad when my course was over!

I did the Liddled Box Class. Great fun. Mark is a really nice guy. He explained everything clearly and simply. There were 4 of us, with plenty of space to work and lots of decent (sharp) tools to play with....
Perfect if you need to learn a few skills and end up with a little box to take home.

I treated myself to a one to one with Mark, as I had previously done a short carpentry and joinery, over 30 years ago. I had some basic knowledge and skills but wanted to get a better idea of what tools are available now days and to get a bit of confidence to tackle small cabinet making projects, as a hobby (was inspired by Channel 4's - "Handmade - Britain's best woodworker). Mark was the right man for the job, and his lovely workshop is very well equipped. We managed to get through my extensive list - sorry Mark! I left full of ideas for projects and really recommend him to others with any interest in wood-drafting. Thanks Mark!

I did a 1:1 day course with Mark and highly recommend it! Mark is an extremely knowledgeable and patient teacher. He tailored the day to the areas of carpentry which I was interested in and showed me best, safe practice on a number of machines in the workshop. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark's classes to anyone from beginner to expert. Be warned - you will want to buy a Festool Domino tool once you've seen in in action so start saving now 😉 !

I attended a 1-2-1 day session with Mark and not only did I learn something I thoroughly enjoyed my time doing so. Mark is patient, professional and clearly understands that each individual learns at their own pace, things never felt rushed (even though the project I chose to undertake at the last minute meant that we had to!)

There was plenty of hands on experience and Mark never once looked to take over or take control, he was present at every step just to ensure you had everything you needed and were, most importantly, staying safe!

I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone interested in woodworking, it has given me serious food for thought and confidence enough to look to tackle my own larger project, a PC desk.

Can’t recommend Mark’s lessons enough! I recent took a single evening course on a Monday, as soon as I got home I booked onto a six week course to build a small cupboard starting the same week!

Mark is a great teacher and has an endless amount of knowledge at his disposal. He had such a likeable and friendly approach and I hope to book onto another course soon!

The classes are really fun and I can’t thank Mark enough, I had a great time!

I’ve now done 2 courses with Mark as an absolute beginner, making a lidded box (day) and small cupboard (6 week evening class).

I can’t recall any better spent money than this in recent memory. Mark will teach you an array of skills using the vast amount of handheld & machine tools in the workshop, in a relaxed setting with patience and good humour chucked in on the side. And a nice cuppa from a snazzy kettle.

You will not be disappointed!
