A week-long general woodwork course with Waters & Acland in Kendal. Waters & Acland say it suits beginners and people with some experience.
Tools are included in the price.
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 Waters & Acland, not by us, and can change at any time. Always confirm the details with them before you travel.
