Course programme
In order to build the confidence needed to use power tools, this short course incorporates:
- appropriate construction techniques
- materials and jointing possibilities
- range of tools, tooling, accessories, capabilities and limitations
- measuring and marking out for power tools
- safe use and working
- adjustment and loading of tooling
- advice on purchasing tools and materials
Within this course there will be a set project to make which will be taken away at the end of the course. Once this is completed, there will also be the opportunity to work on short individual personal projects.
Teaching is for the most part workshop based, with practical demonstrations and handouts. There is regular one to one discussion, planning and feedback.
Access to the workshop will be from 10am until 4pm with morning and afternoon taught sessions. Class sizes are kept small to enable all participants to receive individual guidance.
