This course takes you through the process of making a three legged stool utilising traditional wedged through tenons to join the legs to the seat. We will be using only hand tools for the build. An ideal follow on from the taster class.

This course is specifically designed for complete beginners who have little to no prior experience in woodworking but is challenging enough for those with some existing skills. You will be guided through every step, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident with your newfound skills.

The course includes:

• choosing the timber and what to look for

• cutting the seat and legs from the board using a ripsaw and crosscut saw

• setting up the hand plane and dimensioning the components

• marking out leg positions and setting the angles

• cutting the mortice and tenon joints for the legs

• gluing up the stool

• final shaping

• applying a finish
