At the end of the three-day course you will have transformed oak timber pieces into a beautifully sanded and finished oak side-table that you will treasure forever.

Price includes tea and coffee, and home-made treats.

 

Previous customer testimonials:

“I have just returned from a 3 day woodworking course at Finbarr’s workshop making a side table. A fantastic experience! Finbarr’s patience and understanding throughout the 3 day weekend made the course thoroughly enjoyable. If anybody is thinking of doing some sort of woodworking course then this fits the bill…..perfectly. Thank you Finbarr.”

“What a delight the three-day course was! It more than met my expectations … thanks a million for a very special experience.”

Mike

“Everything about it was great, the small number of people taking part, being in a proper workshop surrounded by wood and tools, the encouragement from you and the others … having the chance to use machines that I had never seen before let alone used.

And most of all the help given by you and your positive attitude when I felt something wasn’t quite going right.”

Carol

“Finbarr’s table making course is excellent … a lovely friendly small group atmosphere. The finished table exceeded my expectations, and, as I had almost no experience of woodworking, that’s all down to Finbarr’s tutelage and skill.”
