learn how to set out and produce common joints used in furniture making and general carpentry

This course will introduce you to traditional and modern furniture joinery. You will learn how to lay out and cut the following joints using hand tools along with using power tools including the Festool Domino jointer, and larger machinery including the bandsaw and mortiser:
  • Mortise and tenon joints (such as through, wedged, draw bored, stub).
  • Dovetail joints (through, lapped).
  • Halving joints.
  • Bridle joints.
  • Domino joints.
  • Biscuit joints.
  • Dowel joints using a basic jig and a duo doweller.

At the end of this course, you will have produced samples of each type of joint to take away.

This course costs £330, which includes light lunches on both days at either the onsite cafe or local pub and all materials.


This course is run on a one-to-one basis and can be arranged for a date that suits both parties.
