Furniture Making Classes2021-04-07T08:48:18+01:00

We run a range of furniture design and making classes that cover the most important skills in woodworking.

Classes are held at weekends, weekdays and the occasional evening.

We aim to give you a clear progression route where each class adds a new set of techniques and knowledge to your skillset.

We cater to all skill levels, though some classes are more suited to those who have a good understanding of the basics or who already work in the industry.

Where Do I Start?2021-03-31T08:13:26+01:00

We recommend starting with Core Skills Joinery 1. This unit contains the foundation knowledge that solid timber construction is based on.

If you want to continue exploring what handtools joinery can do Core Skills Joinery 2 and/or Core Skills Planes & Planing should be your next stop.

Core Skills Power Tools and Core Skills Fitted Furniture both delve into using portable power tools. The former focuses on the tools and techniques used to make furniture from solid wood, and the latter is geared towards working with manufactured boards such as MDF and plywood.

Finally, Core Skills Wood Finishing introduces the materials and methods used to make your work look and feel good.
