By popular demand – a content packed two-day basic carpentry woodwork skills course spread over weekend days. Beginners will be given plenty of help and more experienced students may work at their own pace. Make your own pine wood stool and take it home with you to be admired by friends and family.
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.
Experienced carpenter, Andy Nicholl will guide a small group through the design and making of an elegant pine stool using traditional hand tools.
The workshop focuses on jointing wood with dowels, using and caring for a plane and chisel, using spokeshaves and hand drilling with augers.
