Woodworking COURSES

At our Festool Workshop (Williamstown Victoria) we offer a number of courses and instructional sessions.

The courses are designed to build up your skills in furniture making and you finish the course with a completed piece of furniture.

 

Project Courses

We highly recommend the following courses for woodworkers will some experience, but wishing to increase their knowledge under instruction. Our project courses include:

  • Building a Contemporary Hall Table - a medium size project improving your skills in basic furniture construction.
  • Building a Chair - a medium size project where the previously learned skills are applied to the sometimes difficult process of building chairs.
  • Building a Japanese Stylised Meditation Bench - a simple and beautiful bench of Blackwood, featuring a sliding dovetail joints and elegant dimensions.

Our courses are conducted by Terry Fogarty, an experienced furniture maker and innovative woodworker. Terry holds a Diploma of Arts (Furniture Design) from the Australian School of Wood.

Tool Training and Information Sessions

The tool training and information sessions are designed to teach you additional and advanced techniques you for various tools and processes. In many cases these are hands on instructional sessions.

If you own one of these tools or are thinking of acquiring one, these sessions will help you better understand and apply all the possibilities of the tool.

Many of these sessions are conducted by Terry Fogarty, with some conducted by guest demonstrators.
