What our students are saying

Very informative, and practical use of all machines. Worthwhile to learn how to safely use them. Would recommend for any one thinking of getting into woodwork.

Garry

I had a really great time at the "Come & Try" class! Taylor is friendly, open and explains things clearly. He very kindly answers your questions (even if you feel they're silly!) and is happy to share his knowledge. As someone who had a little bit of prior experience - mostly with traditional hand tools - it was fantastic to be allowed to have a crack at using the bandsaw!!!

I'd recommend these classes to anyone. It's important to support craftspeople & artisans who are willing to share their skills.

Thanks Taylor - The Machining 101 course was just what I needed to start using my new machines.
Your insights into the practical use of timber from various sources in Adelaide will be really useful.

Make your own Insect hotel! Attract native bees and other insects to your garden and provide them a safe place to live, it's a great project for the children as they can keep an eye on it in the backyard. add a hook or bracket and hang it from a tree or on a fence somewhere out of reach from animals.

Please note, the kits may be supplied with drilled wooden blocks and not branches as pictured as sourcing the branch offcuts is difficult. If you have any old branches in your own yard, you can cut these up and use them instead of the supplied blocks if you wish.
