What the course involves
A 30-week furniture making course with Waters & Acland in Kendal. Waters & Acland say it suits beginners and people with some experience.
What is furniture making?
Furniture making covers everything from a first small cabinet to full-time training. Expect hand tools and machines together, and real time spent on joints, because a piece of furniture is mostly the quality of how it is held together. Short courses build one defined object; longer ones teach the process so you can design your own.

Do I need to bring my own tools?
Waters & Acland 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.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. Waters & Acland bills this course as suiting people starting from scratch as well as those with some experience who want to develop further, so a mixed-ability group is expected.
Who do I book with?
