One day taster course
Get hands on with a wide variety of tools and make your own cutlers stool!
Have you ever wanted to have a go at wood working? Was the last time you touched a hand-tool in the workshop at school? This one day introduction course is the one for you! Designed with the intention of being a gateway to further woodworking experiences, this course will introduce you to the common hand tools and woodworking machinery you are likely to encounter while developing your skills.
The day will begin exploring different types of hand tools and a brief overview of what they are used for. Next, you will start looking at the sawn timber provided to make the stool from, we look at defining features and most common uses and how to read the grain, then set up and begin processing the timber with a hand plane.
This leads nicely on to learning about some of the larger machinery in the workshop whilst producing an interesting and historically inspired three legged stool called a cutlers stool!
Some of the tools you’ll use:
• Hand plane
• Table saw
• Planer thicknesser
• Pillar drill
• Hand held drill
• Marking out tools
• Japanese saw
• Router
• Sander
• Tenon cutter
This course costs £180 (or £165 with Double Up!), which includes a light lunch at either the onsite cafe or local pub and all materials required.
This course is eligible for our ‘Double Up!’ option. At checkout, choose whether you would prefer to attend this course alone, or that you are happy to double up with another person. It can be arranged for a date that suits both parties.
