This short course is designed specifically for beginners, with no previous experience with tools or in workshops. It is a confidence building introduction to simple carpentry skills.

It covers the fundamentals of tool use and workshop techniques, including:

· Confidence in your ability to use the following tools correctly and safely – hand and power saws, drill drivers and measuring equipment.

· Learning to measure and cut accurately

· Practice simple joinery using drills, glue and screws

· Familiarise yourself with the workshop environment, practices and health and safety

This course is about applied learning: by the end of the course, you will have made a small box with lid to take home.

Box dimensions 30cm (L) x 30cm (H) x 30cm (W)

Morning tea is provided. BYO lunch.

What you bring: Yourself.

All tools and materials are included in the registration.

What to wear: old clothes you are happy to get dirty and sturdy closed shoes.

We provide safety glasses and ear protection.
