Woodworker in Edinburgh

“Me and my daughter had a very pleasant experience with one of the workers named Sean at the paint mixing counter. He couldn’t have been more helpful, much appreciated.”

“Pete worked closely with myself in designing all the shelving and cabinetry for my wine shop "Communique Wines" in Edinburgh. From the outset he quickly visualised my original ideas, added his own touches and came up with some unique solutions to design problems encountered along the way. The quality of his work and his relentless attention to detail resulted in a finished project which completely surpassed my expectations and I couldn't be happier with the finished project. Pete proved himself to be the perfect consummate professional and I would not hesitate in recommending him for whatever your project may be.”

“Friendly folk, good tool selection, great concept and a harbinger for the circular economy to come. When it comes to resolving the problems of waste and overconsumption in our society, ETL has really hit the nail on the head.”

“Probably the best service and experience we received from a Travis Perkins / benchmark branch ,( sighthill branch Edinburgh)..Great service from both Paul and Sean , a pleasure to do business with, highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed.”

“Move On Wood Recycling provided helpful advice for our construction project at Music Base - large cupboards lining a corridor. They supplied construction timber and plywood at much lower prices than any timber merchant. Also, given that the timber had been used before, it was thoroughly seasoned and so any warping had already happened. This meant we could select pieces that were straight and likely to remain so. The plywood had been used for a science festival event and was painted maroon and off-white. Also, it still had the posters attached which we kept for the final finish of the cupboards to add interest - see image. Many thanks to Move On Wood Recycling.”

“Fixed the issue with my iPhone charging port and for free. Great service. Thank you.”

“Staff were very friendly. We were looking for materials to do our own patio and Chris offered some very helpful advice as well as cheaper deals than online prices. I would definitely recommend going in store if you are looking to do a patio.”

“Quick to reply to our email, very friendly and super helpful, can highly recommend! We picked up two tree stumps to use as chopping blocks for our firewood and they’re great - and very reasonably priced. Glad to have such a great sawmill on our doorstep!”

“I visited Glittering Edge to take a weekend knife smithing course. Greg was a fantastic teacher, ensuring i was happy throughout with the steps I would be following to create my new knife. He has a lot of experience and is happy to be as hands on or off as you need and are comfortable with as you craft your own knife. I really enjoyed the experience and it was impressive to see some of the pieces Greg has completed and others that are underway. If you have ever fancied having a go at crafting your own knife I highly recommend doing so under the tutelage of Greg at glittering edge.”

“I came in with a broken wood plane thinking I'd need a new piece or a new tool and the staff put the tool together there on the spot no bother as turns out I just had it in the wrong way, they then helped me find out exactly what I needed for the rest of my project. They were incredibly helpful and I'll definitely be back.”
