The smile says it all !
So much fun to be had in our workshop;
The smile from our Saturday Student says it all !
For the last two weekends we have had the joy of running our Introduction to Furniture Making Workshop.
During the last two Saturdays our wonderful woodworkers have learnt the fundamentals of good furniture making, including design and construction methods, proper use of machinery and power tools, and essential techniques to begin the wonderful journey of timber furniture making.
A fun productive Saturday in the workshop

Safe and proper use of machines and power tools is vital and Stuart with over 30 years in the industry is only too happy to impart his knowledge and experience to our eager participants.

When it all comes together …
The wonderful thing about custom making is the choices you have to make the piece exactly as you want, whats the point if your gorgeous piece of furniture is only going to sit in the shed if its “too big, too small, not the right colour or I dont like that design”
Prior to the class, our eager students chose their timber , finalised their design preference and dutifully measured at home the exact requirements needed for their very own custom made piece of furniture.
Our April class students each chose different styles and sizes to fit in exactly with their own home requirements .
And as the photos reveal, our students have made beautiful timber furniture additons to their home.
Our happy April Furniture Making graduates
It is a joy and a privilage to share our wealth of woodworking knowledge with such enthusiastic woodworkers.
The energy and comraderie they bring to class makes our Furniture Making Workshops truly a wonderful experience for us all
