Learn basic carpentry skills over 4 weeks - we will look at various types of timber and how to clamp and cut timber. We'll practise using handsaws, explore the world of planers and files, build an understanding of sandpaper, look at drilling options - and then we'll explore how to finish timber for different purposes, considering oils, stains and varnishes.

You'll walk away with some lovely boards for gifts (or for yourself) and lots of new knowledge and skills. And some new local friendships (we hope).

Starts Thursday 1 August, from 10am-12pm, for 4 weeks.
