This programme is designed for those who have completed Course 1 and are seeking to enhance their skills with portable power tools and the industrial machine tools in our workshops. The course is all about making a piece of furniture sufficient to challenge the student’s ability and interests. The design of the furniture can be enhanced to include dove tail and finger joints, wood turning, steam wood bending, jig making, inlays and molding work. These courses are for one person at a time under the supervision of both the director, John Cowlin and his assistant Forward Mudzara.
The price and length of this course depends upon the scope and complexity of the project. All quotes will include the working drawings, cutting lists, cost of materials, instruction, use of tools and accessories. My Grandpas Workshop has a number of designs from which a suitable project can be selected. This does not exclude a project of your own – together we can evaluate what you have in mind and make it possible. The courses are normally for two hours at times to be arranged. See price table for further details.
