2-Day Green Woodworking Stool Making Course:

Join Charlie for a hands-on, two-day course where you’ll craft your own beautiful three-legged solid
top stool using traditional chair-making techniques.

Over the weekend, he'll guide you through every step of the process, from splitting down a large
ash log to fine-tuning oak wedges that lock your stool legs in place. You will break down compound
angle drilling into something simple and easy to understand, and you’ll learn to confidently use a
wide range of traditional hand tools including drawknives, spokeshaves, and rounding planes (don’t worry, it will all make sense as you go).

The aim is not just for you to leave with a finished stool, but with the confidence and skills to
continue your journey into green woodworking.
 

Who Is This Course For?
* Complete beginners
* Intermediate woodworkers
* Experienced carpenters who are new to green woodworking

All genders, backgrounds, and abilities (16+) are warmly welcome. Charlie strives to create an inclusive, supportive learning environment where no question is silly, and everyone can progress at their own pace.
