The polytunnel makes a wonderfully light workshop - we purposely left half of the tunnel open plan and it makes a versatile teaching space. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/fdc4bd80-8df1-11f1-af5a-17ce4ea54341-rimg-w931-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg WOOD FINISHINGGetting a really good finish on wood. Rounding off edges, sanding down, different varnish and oil finishes.A BASIC TOOLKITThe set of basic hand tools you'll need for these and other DIY jobs. Which of the old tools you may have are still good to use and which are better replaced.OTHER DIY TOPICSLet me know in advance if there's anything else you'd like to find out about and I'll fit it in if I can - but not plumbing and electrical work! :-)All materials are supplied and there's lots of tools - though you're welcome to bring your own tools with you if you'd like to try them out and see if they're any good.RISK ASSESSMENT See page here https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/fdd893a0-8df1-11f1-a33a-f7150662a5aa-rimg-w703-h740-dcb8b8c8-gmir.jpg IAN’S BACKGROUNDI’ve done a wide range of woody things in a long and varied working life, from making and repairing guitars and furniture, designing and fitting kitchens to building various houses including a straw-bale build, roundhouses, caravan conversions, the PCF shed made of pallets and the "GazeeBarn", and used a wide range of softwood, hardwood, reclaimed and green wood. I've come to the conclusion that abundant woodland and woodworking skills, along with food growing and gaining a better understanding of natural processes - and working with them - are the backbone of the sustainable future.REFUNDS up to 7 days before the course, Eventbrite's fee is not refundableCONTACT IAN: 07450 332 430 ianecowatt@gmail.com https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/fdee3e80-8df1-11f1-af5a-17ce4ea54341-rimg-w896-h740-dcd8d8d8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/perth/basic-woodwork-class-diy-skills/100001991976484287 - **Event Categories**: workshops, music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 6 hours 30 minutes - Location: Perth Community Farm - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 109, max: 109, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Perth - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Perth Community Farm - **lat**: 56.3985814 - **long**: -3.4507993 - **full address**: Perth Community Farm, Jeanfield Road, Perth, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: BASIC WOODWORK CLASS - DIY SKILLS - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/d3f59f35f9729ae0e43eddb6a8727899103eec19e5a578c9a98f2175e62afdf8-rimg-w1200-h600-dc1c1a17-gmir.jpg?v=1782023654 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is BASIC WOODWORK CLASS - DIY SKILLS being held? - **A:** BASIC WOODWORK CLASS - DIY SKILLS takes place on Sat, 08 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 08 Aug, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Perth Community Farm, Jeanfield Road, Perth, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing BASIC WOODWORK CLASS - DIY SKILLS? - **A:** BASIC WOODWORK CLASS - DIY SKILLS is organized by Ian Watt. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
