| Description | The Japanese Toolbox No.2
A little more traditional than #1, but a super piece to make nonetheless. A lot of students go on to use this as a Memory Box. Held over two days and with focus on accuracy with this one we get to use some of the shop machines before laying out and starting on the hand tools - the good stuff. |
Live Edge Breadboard/Chopping Board
Come and make a beautiful ‘live edge’ chopping board with us. Your day will start with a good old cuppa and a chat, and once we’ve all got to know one another we’ll begin with selecting our boards from full-size sections of the tree.
This is a cracking one day course for those who want a good day in the shop with hand tools. And you get to create your own chopping board to boot - which by the way will be so unique there won't be another like it in the world!
See below for full details.

This is a great 2 day course where we get stuck into hand tools, shop machines, traditional joinery techniques and precise marking out. | The Japanese Toolbox No.1
This is for those who really want to get their teeth stuck into a more in-depth course. Held over four days we take this one from scratch with no prep from me. We choose our timber carefully, take it from rough stock to finish size on the shop machines. Layout as per our drawings and get cracking with the hand tools. There will be a limit of three people on this course at any time. |
