Project Description

Total <DIY> Recall

DIY Carpentry is back again, this time with some new tools. This edition will be a re-call to all our previous participants to follow-up on their woodworking projects ! Besides a fresh introduction to carpentry for beginners, this time we will be hosting previous participants at a discounted rate (25% off) !

For the beginners:
– Learn to saw, chisel, drill and sand wood.
– Practice making accurate measurements on your wood pieces.
– Gain hands-on experience working with modern, state of the art, Wood Shop Power Tools.
– Implement advanced design thinking with a team build.
– Take home what you make!

For previous participants and experienced users:
Introduction to Wood Router, Table Saw and Scroll Saw and Drill Press
Basics of Wood Finishing and Wood Treatment

Unlike traditional “Intro to Woodworking/Carpentry” classes, we’ve aggregated user requests, concerns and feedback with regards to what folks ACTUALLY want to learn. This workshop will take into account the real hurdles Makers, Engineers, Artists and Designers go through when realizing their ideas in Wood.

Intermediate and Experienced users will get to work with bigger and more powerful tools along with a basic discourse on wood treatment and finishing using beeswax, varnishes and stainers.

We will follow a generalised and moderately structured agenda for all centered on the following:
– Understanding different types of Wood: Plywood, MDF, Block board and how properties such as hardness and grain affects its working.
– Using appropriate safety measures: Gloves, Masks, and how to orient yourself when trying different woodworking methods
– Practical Woodworking Techniques using Hand Tools and Power Tools: Circular Saws, Power Drills, Automated Planers, Nail Guns, Staple Guns and more.
– Finishing Process: buffing your wood project, applying lacquer/varnish and learning how to “treat” your final product (so to speak!)

Along with the above, participants will get guided demonstrations of THE Workshop’s professional carpentry equipment:
– MITRE SAW, CHOP SAW, CIRCULAR SAW and JIGSAW
– BENCH SANDER, ORBITAL SANDER and FINGER SANDER
– PNEUMATIC COMPRESSOR, NAIL GUN and STAPLE GUN
– DRILL PRESS, HANDHELD POWER DRILLS and AUTOMATED PLANER
– TABLE SAW, SCROLL SAW, ROUTER
