Our regular weekly woodworking and furniture making classes with Ross Annels on Saturday afternoons.
All necessary woodworking tools and machinery are supplied. Students begin with a hand tools only project - learning to work to a fine level with hand tools is fundamental to furniture making. As well as making furniture, we explore drawing, design development and sustainable design.
Students will learn how to use hand tools, how to sharpen edge tools, and how to choose, make and tune-up hand tools.
We also cover safe use of power tools (our workshop is equipped with high quality tools from Festool, Elu etc), and the safe operation of major static machinery (our machinery is industrial scale - and includes a Felder panel saw, Wadkin jointer, Felder bandsaw, Hammer spiral head thicknesser, Hammer tilting spindle moulder, slot and chisel mortisers, overhead routers etc).
Our classes are suitable for all levels of skill, from absolute beginners, through to experienced woodworkers seeking to fine tune their skills or explore specialist techniques.
