No experience necessary! Students will be introduced to a selection of hand tools. They will learn how to use them safely (through demonstrations and discussion), then they will use the tools to create a simple wall hanging coat rack. Class one: Learn to measure, mark and cut our wood using a hand saw. You may need to finish cutting the wood in your own time after class. Class two: Learners will assemble their product and apply the fixtures. We will learn how to measure, mark and use a drill safely. I will teach: How to measure and mark wood for cutting. How to cut wood. How to use a drill. How to use a screwdriver and screws. How to use glass paper. How to apply a finish to wood. Learners may need to complete practical tasks whilst muted so that I can be clearly heard when giving instructions. Parent supervision will be required when students are completing the practical task. Materials and tools are required to complete this class. Follow on classes will be available after completion of the beginners class! Please ask me any questions you may have!
Learning Goals
Students will learn the names and uses of various tools as well as how to use them safely, and have a go!

Supply List
Wood slightly longer than required to be cut down. A saw. A hand held tenon saw is recommended, but a small jack saw or similar will be fine. A mitre block. A clamp. Hooks to be screwed to the back plate for either keys or coats. Screws. Screwdrivers. A drill. Glass paper and sanding block or off cut of wood. A finish of your preference that is safe for children to use. I suggest a natural wax. A cloth to apply the wax. Safety glasses. This list can be discussed and amended to suit individuals.
