Description

Join me in the workshop for this one day beginner's hand tool woodworking course, and learn how to make a box. It is hard to know where to start in woodworking, saw cuts can tend not go the way you want them to or you are not sure how to use a hand plane properly. Our 1 day crash course in hand tool woodworking not only will give you the confidence to tackle your own projects, it gives you a great introduction to how to use a basic set of hand tools (a saw, chisels and hand plane) as well as tips and tricks of the trade that will make your woodworking more accurate and enjoyable. All tools and materials are provided for your course so you don’t need to bring any tools with you and we will go through step by step how to use a saw, chisels and hand planes as well as having a go at a few more specialist hand tools that you may not have encountered before. During the course you will make a simple box which is yours to take home at the end of the day, I will also give you some information to take away about how to start building your own tool kit and how to buy timber. Once you have had a go and mastered the techniques we go through during the course, you will give yourself a solid foundation on which to start your woodworking journey meaning those DIY jobs or woodworking projects you have been putting off can finally be tacked with confidence. Not only can this save you money but will also start you on the path to a brand new hobby which is both relaxing and rewarding. Look forward to seeing you in the workshop!

FAQs

You will be using ANH Artisan’s tools during the course which will have been sharpened and prepared prior to your arrival. Unfortunately, you cannot use your own tools during the course as they may not be sharpened and set up safely and correctly for the day and we will not have time to prep additional kit. However if you have your own woodworking tools that you want to bring for advice on how to use them or set them up/sharpen then please do so, but they will be your responsibility to look after and ensure they are safely stored

The workshop is located within a former quarry which means some of the paths can be a little uneven underfoot. The workshop is accessed via a long ramp and we have accessible toilet facilites to the rear of the workshop. Our aim is to make our courses available to every woodworker, however please be aware the nature of the work we undertake duing the courses can be physically challenging, therefore if you have any questions or concerns regarding accessibility please get in touch and we can discuss how to accomodate your needs.
