The aim of the Sawdust Academy is to provide a relaxed and friendly environment for those who wish to learn (or re-learn) woodworking hand skills. The classes are held in a well equiped workshop in the historic surroundings of Fort Cumberland in Portsmouth. Generally there will be a maximum of four students on each course. Essential PPE, materials and the use of tools will be provided and are included in the price.
Courses are being offered include:
• a one day course to make a three legged stool (suitable for all levels);
• a course to learn basic joinery techniques, initially one day (suitable for beginners)
• a one day tool sharpening experience
• introduction to using a router
• a three day course to produce a paddle or an oar (suitable for all levels)
More courses will be added over time and the basic joinery course will form the initial element of a modular programme which will build into more comprehensive training.
The courses are run by me, Jon Carver. I have been teaching woodwork for 14 years in schools and Further Education establishments including IBTCPortsmouth, I am a passionate advocate for the use of hand tools and the all round benefits of ‘making things’.
At this level, no prior knowledge or skills in furniture making is assumed. Students are taken from the basic understanding of tools and materials through to the making of a furniture project.
Each course is designed a little differently we will be covering what is needed to set you on the path to go and make tables, doors, benches and framework etc.
This course will allow you to recognise your skills, knowledge and understanding and to demonstrate your competence in a real workplace environment so you can work as a Site Carpenter within the construction industry.
An introduction to the skills, materials and tools of furniture making, this course is great for beginners or as a refresher.
If you’re the type of person who likes to roll up their sleeves and get things done, then you would be the perfect person to study our Level 2 Technical Certificate in Site Carpentry.
