This traditional woodworking technique is essential for constructing various furniture pieces, such as chairs, beds, doors, and cabinets. By mastering this skill, you'll gain a valuable asset for your future home projects, ensuring their durability and strength.
During the workshop, you'll be introduced to marking-out techniques and have the opportunity to work with a range of power tools to cut and shape the materials precisely. The project focuses on crafting a miniature dining chair, ideal for a small child. The chair features a wooden seat that can be customised to your liking, whether you prefer to paint it or apply a varnish. The final touches can be completed at home, allowing you to enjoy the process at your own pace.
Attending this class is not only a fantastic experience for those interested in woodworking but also a great gift idea. This beautifully crafted chair, made from hardwood, can be cherished and passed down through generations, serving as a precious heirloom for your family.
What you'll get
All materials and tools to make a small child's chair to take home with you.
 
What to bring
  • If you have some of your own tools and would like to learn how to use them properly, then you are welcome to bring them and use them on the course. We have a fully equipped workshop so there is no need to bring anything, but some students like to bring their own.
  • Please wear clothes suitable for dusty work, sensible shoes, and your own lunch. There is a local shop nearby if you wish to buy lunch or you can bring a packed lunch with you. Tea and coffee are provided throughout the day.
