Wood Stool

By popular demand – a content packed two-day basic carpentry woodwork skills course to make an elegant pine stool using traditional hand tools.

This is a great starter workshop that introduces the skills of how to measure accurately, cut precisely and join planks together using dowels. In addition to this, the legs are connected to the base using a ‘wedged through tenon’ which is a classic woodworking joint and produces a very strong and pleasing result.

The tools used include handsaws, chisels, planes and spoke shaves and you can even get a chance to try an old fashioned ‘bit and brace’ drill. If you are contemplating one of our longer woodwork courses, this can be a great way to gain confidence.

If your knowledge of woodwork is a feint but fond memory of CDT or carpentry  at school, you are in the right place.

The workshop focuses on jointing wood with dowels, using and caring for a plane and chisel, using spokeshaves and hand drilling with augers.

All necessary materials, including the use of tools, will be provided.
