Depending on what you are making you may also turn a componant on a treddle lathe. All tools and techniques eminating from the "pre-electric" era.
Half Day Course $ 95.00 ea Runs either 9 - 12.30 pm or 1.30 - 5 pm (Minimum 2 persons)
You choose to make from: - A Four pronged Survival Spear
- A one off rustic Coat hanger
- Wall Coat rack with shaved pegs
Full Day Course $180.00 (single) $150.00 ea (two person booking)
You choose to make from: - Slab top four legged rustic stool
- Bedside slab top table.
- Set of bespoke coat hangers
