If you’re looking for guidance on your next project, our tailored one-to-one consultancy covers all aspects of wooden boatbuilding — from construction, restoration and finishing, through to CAD and CNC workflows.
While our main focus is wooden boatbuilding, consultancy is not limited to marine work and can cover general woodworking, CAD, and CNC cutting across a wide range of projects.
So whether you’re troubleshooting a specific issue or planning a full build, these sessions are designed to give you clear, practical direction.
Consultancy calls are carried out online via Zoom, usually via video call, with a minimum booking of one hour to ensure we have enough time to properly understand your project and provide meaningful advice.

What Our Customers Say
A few words from people we’ve worked with.
Dan’s consultancy service was outstanding! I was able to really tailor the sessions to fill the gaps I needed in order to learn skills and tips that completely unlocked my project. It was a pleasure to interact with Dan and he really listened what I wanted to ask and provided really precise and actionable teachings. Dan was able to dive into my situation and provide hands on explanations for it, it was not just talks. I will do it again with no hesitation as the wealth of knowledge and the way it’s taught are definitely worth it. THANK YOU DAN!!!

I highly recommend Dan’s video consulting service. I was stuck on my Temptress build, because I was not confident of how to accurately fair the frames prior to planking. Dan and I spent 1-hour on a video call. Dan explained a very straightforward explanation for how I should measure and fair the frames. And he even spotted a few additional items over the video.
I plan to use many times more.

I purchased the CNC Wood Worker course in October 2025 and used the consultancy service to get advice on buying my first CNC machine and my planned CNC business. We also covered 3D scanning and how it could be used to achieve my goals.
Dan’s friendly manner made him easy to talk to and the discussion flowed easily. The money I spent consulting was worth every penny. I went into my CNC machine purchase with confidence and clarity. I’ll be using Dan’s services again.
