This course has been really popular, it gives complete beginners a chance to try cordless drills, handsaws and other basic woodworking tools and gain that vital confidence to start making and repairing stuff themselves.
I've been teaching it for a few years now and have found the best way is to split up tasks, like sawing accurately, into little chunks, demonstrate each bit then give plenty of time for practice. I set up various different simple practice pieces for that.
It's been so popular that I've asked one of our main farm volunteers, Charlotte Arno, to help me teach it so we can take a few more people on each one, and so that Charlotte can build up the experience to teach it herself before long. Charlotte took these photos too - thank you!
Loads more woodworking and gardening courses coming soon, they should appear on Eventbrite here as they go live: All Things Sustainable on Eventbrite
