We are very excited to have this project underway. Our community workshop is about teaching woodturning and basic carpentry skills to those that are interested in learning and developing new practical skills. Built and run entirely by volunteers, we hope that having this amazing resource and space will encourage anybody with an interest to come along and be part of it.
The workshop is fully equipped with all the equipment and machines to complete woodturning and carpentry projects for beginners right through to intermediate and we hope, possibly even professional standard.
The workshop is for those that are not fortunate enough to have space and equipment where they live and there may be others that want to come to the workshop because they want to work alongside others.
