Introduction to Woodwork (One-Day Workshop - Aug 2025 - Saturday) by WomenzShed

INTRODUCTION TO WOODWORK

with NIKKI

If you've not tried your hand at woodwork before, or you're looking for some confidence in power tools, this is the perfect workshop for you.  It is a shorter version of our 'Introduction to the Wood Workshop' series but still packs a punch for what you'll experience.  Our small class sizes and supportive, friendly approach will enable you learn about common woodworking tools and equipment, and gain confidence in their use whilst also doing good for the local wildlife, building items to support the work of our community partner Urban Ark - Manawa Taiao.  

Sessions include:

• timber basics

• measuring and cutting accurately

• planing

• chiselling

• electric saws including jig, circular and compound mitre saws

• Fixings (nails/screws/hinges)

• Drills and impact driver
