Carpentry for Beginners (Monday Eve Series) Oct 2026

Want to feel more confident tackling basic building jobs around the home? This hands-on workshop will introduce you to essential carpentry tools, techniques and skills you can put to use straight away.
You’ll build a mock-up stud wall frame, practise measuring, squaring, cutting and joining timber, and learn how to work with plasterboard (GIB). We’ll also cover hanging pictures and shelves securely and level, cutting and fitting timber mouldings, and working with angles.
To put your new skills into practice, you’ll finish by building a planter box to take home. Depending on the group’s experience and progress, we’ll also cover fitting common door hardware such as hinges and handles.
There’ll be plenty of opportunity to ask questions about your own projects and share ideas and experiences with fellow workshoppers.
