Martin stayed with us for one week last week and it was great to have him around. He is very skilled and talented and in only a few days helped us with building our chicken coop. Martin loves to travel and has a great sense of humour. If you're in need of an experienced Carpenter to help you with different jobs, send him a message, you won't… read more

Martin was a perfect first Workaway. He was very easy to get on with and took to the various jobs without fuss or bother. Once started he proved to be a finisher too! He did all the woodworking and carpentry jobs I could find. Unfortunately the sash window fell sharply and bit the poor man but he carried on in spite of the discomfort. Once the… read more

Yvonne has a beautiful Georgian Grade II listed house, in scenic Cornwall. I completed work, also repaired/recorded a 'traditional' sash window, particularly enjoyable as it's many years since having done such a repair. Yvonne is generous, thoughtful and very regularly organised trips out to beaches, local towns with guided tours and knowledge, to… read more

My stay down in Devon was delightful with Siddy, Xue, family and workaway friends. Siddy is extremely talented and knowledgeable. Her build project is progressing, the work I did was interesting and the 'roundy-roundy' :-) staircase we tackled together was 'quite satisfying'. Siddy is caring, thoughtful and her hosting was great with tasty good… read more

Martin came to help on my building project for one week. He achieved a lot in the short time he was here and his carpentry work is to an extremely high standard. He was a very easy guest and was a pleasure to host. He even managed to cope with my chaos without complaint!

I had a really enjoyable stay at Rana's place. It's in an isolated peaceful, tranquil location. Accomodation was very good and Rana cooks delicious meals every day from lots of homegrown vegatables. Along with other jobs, I completed 'unfinished works' to her Art studio which is now one step closer to completion and opening!. Rana is easy going,… read more

recommended Martin stayed here for three weeks to help with my project.
I cannot thank him enough for all he has done...
During his stay he did so many repairs that it would be difficult to mention all of them but the main work he did was in the wooden studio which means that I can now use it !!!
Martin is a mature professional man with a lot… read more

Martin is very competent in what he does. He helped 'fit out' my function room and make things ready for guests. He helped quickly and, thankfully, got the tasks done. He has no experience of my alternative life style and it was obviously foreign to him but we survived 3 weeks! He has a good sense of humour.

I had a recent pleasant/enjoyable three week stay at Zoe's place. She is very knowIedgeable on allsorts and conscious of protecting the environment. I can be a 'convert' to her home grown/cooked food, pumkin soup, roast veg and curried veg. I got on well with Zoe during my stay and she was always complimentary, appreciative of the Carpentry work… read more
