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 Williams and Cleal, 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?
Williams and Cleal 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?
Williams and Cleal bills this course as suiting people starting from scratch. If you have never done any general woodwork before, say so when you book so they know what to expect.
Is £390 a fair price for this?
Most weekend general woodwork courses on this site cost between £225 and £450. At £390 this one sits towards the pricier end, out of 16 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 Williams and Cleal. 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.
