Intermediate Furniture Making (short course)

This course is designed to build your confidence in using hand tools, give you an understanding of construction and introduce you to basic safe use of fixed machinery and portable power tools. The project will be within everyone’s capabilities, but be challenging enough to stretch those woodworkers who have already built good basic skills. There will be a set project like the Introduction course, but with some room for your own interpretation. It will give you the opportunity to: acquire the new skills and techniques necessary to be competent in furniture making. undertake hands-on practical sessions to create a finished product. build upon your previous knowledge. It will involve all stages of production including: making cutting lists. preparing materials. adapting/reading drawings to construction. surface preparation. hand finishing. You will be producing work that you can take away at the end of the course.
