Over the last two Saturdays , our budding woodworkers worked diligently to create their beautiful hall tables.
During this time students are taught, the fundamentals of what makes a good design , introducing knowledge of various timber species and their appropriate application.
Then comes the fun part where our students get their hands dirty - and begin the wonderful journey of creativity.
Learning the safe and proper use of the drop saw , biscuit joiner and other associated woodwork machinery is an integral part of the workshop.
These skills will be for life and make the difference between a so so woodworker and a competent safe one.
The importance and proper utilization of adhesives and abrasives is practically taught in these two days also .
The finish of a piece of furniture is as important as the construction and our students discover this for themselves during the construction of their table.
Its a very productive, fun two days that see our students achieve a great deal.
And its the very best feeling leaving with your own custom made piece of furniture
