A half-day general woodwork course with Simon Taggart in Wisbech.
What is general woodwork?
A general woodwork course teaches the foundations rather than one craft: measuring and marking, sawing straight, planing flat, cutting a joint that actually closes, and sharpening the tools that do it. It is the right starting point if you are not yet sure which direction you want to go in.
Dates, prices and places are set by Simon Taggart, not by us, and can change at any time. Always confirm the details with them before you travel.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to bring my own tools?
Simon Taggart does not state on their page whether tools are provided for this course. Ask them before you book, because a hand woodworking course can assume you bring your own.
What if I need to cancel?
Simon Taggart states that a full refund is available up to 2 weeks before the course starts. We do not take the booking or the payment, so their terms are the ones that apply.
Is £130 a fair price for this?
Most half-day one-to-one woodworking sessions on this site cost between £90 and £140. At £130 this one sits around the middle, out of 8 we hold a price for. Price alone will not tell you which suits you: group size and what is included matter as much.
Who do I book with?
You book directly with Simon Taggart. Woodwork UK does not take bookings, does not add a fee, and is not paid for the link. They set the dates, the price and the number of places.
