teaching & learning


Using machine tools is an essential skill for any crafts person working with wood. In this section we provide a range of projects, course notes and assessments to help learn about this exciting aspect of woodwork.

sheep toilet roll

Ewe will love this project. It is baa-sically a toilet roll holder fashioned as a sheep. This project requires you to use a lathe, scroll-saw and pillar drill with either a larger diameter forstner-bit or holesaw - lots of skills to practice. 

​We have even provided the face template as a DXF...

spaghetti fork

Everybody likes spaghetti, right? If you are like us, we often cook either too much or too little pasta (okay, always too much...). Well, now you can get your proportions just right with this handy spaghetti fork. 

​Practice key skills in drilling, cutting and finishing with this quick little project.

tea-light holder

A simple, small tea-light holder and stand appears very easy - but the mastery is in the quality of construction and finish... 

​A perfect project to experiment with different types of wood and different finishes.
