Venue: Pixmore Business Centre, Letchworth
Day 1 - Sunday 28th June 2026 / Day 2 - Sunday 12th July 2026
Time: 10.00am - 4.30pm
Over the course of the two days, Steven will guide you through the process of building a small side table, introducing a range of core woodworking and joinery techniques along the way.
This workshop focuses on developing practical skills through making, giving you the opportunity to work through a complete furniture project from start to finish.
Using a combination of hand tools and selected machinery, you will learn how to measure and mark accurately, cut cleanly, and assemble components so they are strong, well fitted and properly aligned. We will also look at body positioning and posture at the bench, helping you work comfortably, safely and with better control. The aim is to build confidence while working through a structured and rewarding project.
You will be introduced to a range of fundamental techniques, including:
Basic joinery
Learn how simple joints are used to form strong, reliable and beautiful timber joints within furniture.
Shaping components
Develop an understanding of how to form clean, consistent shapes for legs and table tops using hand tools and routers.
Assembly and alignment
Learn how to bring components together accurately so the table sits flat, square and stable.
Surface preparation and finishing
Prepare your piece for finishing, with a focus on achieving a clean and well refined result.
The table design is kept deliberately simple, allowing you to focus on the process while still producing a well proportioned and functional piece of furniture to take home.
All timber and components required for the table will be provided. If you have your own timber you would like to incorporate, you are very welcome to get in touch in advance to discuss whether it would be suitable.
The workshop is practical, hands on and supportive, with plenty of guidance to help you develop your skills at your own pace.
