Timber Wall Shelf | 1 DAY

Make your own wall-mountable entryway organiser from solid Tasmanian Oak in this intensive one-day workshop, suitable for beginners. 

Participants will learn how to accurately measure and mark out components with squares and gauges, how to cut, bevel and smooth pieces by hand with Japanese hand saws, hand planes and chisels, and create secure attachments with glue. Students will then be guided through the process of using a drill press to create accurate repeatable angled holes to attach dowel hooks, which will then be secured with wedged joinery.

All tools and materials supplied. This workshop is suitable for complete beginners.

Shelf dimensions (mm): 600 L x 115 H x 110 D
