I've had brilliant feedback from students who get a great sense of achievement through making something right from scratch. We have a whole day for this course so all participants can make something they can take home, maybe a stool, work trestle or bird box.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 - we never have enough cordless drills... https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/04f21890-3e1b-11f1-98ee-251155a56809-rimg-w740-h740-dc171616-gmir.jpg GARDEN FOCUSA chance to learn the skills you need to make raised beds, planters and the million other woody things you may need in your garden. Perth Community Farm is a brilliant venue for this class, we'll have good look around so you can see how we've used these basic skills in many different ways - sure you will get lots of ideas for your own place. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/05585470-3e1b-11f1-bef1-87181254181b-rimg-w1056-h740-dcd4d9f2-gmir.jpg PROGRAMME FOR THE COURSE:SAFETY FIRST: there's a few hazards to be aware of, I'll point these out as we go along.RISK ASSESSMENT See page hereSAWING: using a variety of handsaws to cut safely, squarely and accurately. Importance of sharpness.MARKING OUT: measuring: feet and meters, why we use both. Marking out, marking square, marking angles, accuracy.CLAMPS: importance of holding your work steady, how to use the various tools etc for that.DRILLING: using cordless drills to drill and screw – different kinds of drill bits and fixings. Other kinds of drill.PLANES, RASPS, FILES: we'll be using some of these so you can see how rounding off edges etc can improve the look of your work dramatically.WOOD: different kinds of wood in everyday use, in lengths and in sheets, new, reclaimed and green, hardwood and softwood, why they’re used, different strengths and weaknesses, a bit about the structure of wood in general and understanding grain.FIXING WITH SCREWS: using screws to fix different thicknesses and kinds of wood together.PRACTICE PROJECTS: all students will be able to make something simple they can take home with them, maybe a stool, work trestle or bird box.YOUR OWN PROJECTS: please ask for advice on things you would like to make, repair, re-purpose, salvage etc etc yourself. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/058bc080-3e1b-11f1-98ee-251155a56809-rimg-w1200-h708-dcd9c2a5-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/events7/banners/05c06510-3e1b-11f1-896d-8d593e5a204c-rimg-w640-h740-dcf4f1ef-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/063e95c0-3e1b-11f1-bef1-87181254181b-rimg-w987-h740-dc8b904d-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/perth/basic-woodwork-whole-day-class-garden-special/100001984873725745 - **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 - WHOLE DAY CLASS - GARDEN SPECIAL - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/0b2b7c37f1d6df90b51a61ca8c3fa28f18153c8dfb3d1b4ec540841345a4bbe9-rimg-w1200-h894-dc2f2d2e-gmir.jpg?v=1776842188 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is BASIC WOODWORK - WHOLE DAY CLASS - GARDEN SPECIAL being held? - **A:** BASIC WOODWORK - WHOLE DAY CLASS - GARDEN SPECIAL takes place on Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Perth Community Farm, Jeanfield Road, Perth, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing BASIC WOODWORK - WHOLE DAY CLASS - GARDEN SPECIAL? - **A:** BASIC WOODWORK - WHOLE DAY CLASS - GARDEN SPECIAL is organized by Ian Watt. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
