This popular two week introductory course will establish a solid skill base for all aspiring woodworkers and provide the foundation skills for fine cabinetmaking. No prior experience is necessary for this course – many previous students who have been experienced woodworkers have found this course to be highly beneficial.

The course covers the tuning and sharpening of basic handtools and the basics of accurate timber preparation, setting out and cutting a number of basic woodworking joints and assembly. The main project is a small attractive side-table designed by David Haig which can be packed flat for ease of transport. The basics of wood finishing will also be shown and in most cases participants are able to try these out on their completed tables. Participants will also be taken step by step through the safe and efficient use and understanding of the basic woodworking machinery, the tablesaw, bandsaw, jointer and thicknesser. This course is the prerequisite for enrolment in any of the other individual components of the full time course, and we now offer two new courses Beginning Cabinet Making Course 2 and Course 3 which have been tailored to be the perfect follow up to further your skills and confidence.
