In this hands-on woodworking workshop you build a wall-hung cabinet from solid ash, working from technical drawings and following the whole process from raw timber to finished piece. The project is clearly defined, so you can concentrate on craftsmanship and construction.
You learn box construction, alignment and the importance of square joints, and you choose how the main corners are joined, using mitred, box or reinforced joints depending on the look and strength you want. You also fit the door precisely and make the handle yourself, either by copying a suggested design or creating your own. The course ends with sanding and finishing the surfaces to bring out the natural qualities of the wood.
The course is taught by Yann Gandon of Studio Yann Gandon, and the tuition is in English.
