Introduction to Green Woodworking

Green woodworking classes will cover:

- learning about the properties of green wood

- hand tools such as Chisels, saws, auger and brace (hand drill), draw knife, spoke shave and others and how to use these.

- tool and wood work safety

- using your new skills to build a small piece of furniture such as a stool.

Open to most abilities. Your choice of method for making your piece of furniture will be based on your ability level. We’d like you to have a piece to take away with you at the end and therefore have different designs to accommodate different levels of skill and speed. You will need to be able sit astride a bench, use your feet to operate the clamp and hands to work the tools and wood with a basic level of strength.

It may be possible to make accommodations to enable those with specific physical disabilities to access the course - with advance notice and discussion.

Half an hour lunch break allows for a 4 hour course.
