The Carpentry for Gardeners - make a bench focusses on the specifics of building for outdoor and rough conditions. You’ll learn about suitable hardware and techniques for outdoor construction, along with tips and tricks for prolonging the life of the things you build.

It covers the fundamentals of tool use and 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 and screws

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

In this introductory unit, you’ll make a small garden bench to take home with you.

Bench dimensions - 850mm long x 430mm high x 320mm wide

What to Bring – Yourself. All tools and materials are included in the registration. Morning Tea (tea, coffee and biscuits) is provided. You will need to provide your own lunch.

What to Wear – weather appropriate clothes you are happy to get dirty in and sturdy closed-in shoes. We provide safety glasses and ear protection.
