INTRODUCTION TO THE WOOD WORKSHOP

Under the guidance of our experienced instructor, our very popular introductory series covers a range of woodworking equipment found in our wood workshop. It's suitable for beginners or anyone wishing to upskill and gain confidence, particularly in power-tools and machinery.
