Our Introduction to Woodworking Class

We recently had the pleasure of conducting our 2 Day Introduction to Woodworking Class held over Friday and Saturday October 18 and 19 at our Boondall Workshop.

Our students chose various timber and design choices according to their personal preferences and to match their existing decor.

On the first day , our enthusiastic students made the parts for their hall table.

Milling all the timber, cutting to the desired length and jointing the rails to the legs

They then finished their first day with biscuiting the top together and cutting the top to length.

It was an intense productive day, where new systems were learnt and information overload for our enthusiastic team players.

*legs

*top

*rails (check twice cut once )
