About This Course
Learn Woodworking from someone with 50 plus years’ experience, fully adaptable project, minimal tools required
Working with wood is hugely satisfying and you are rewarded at the end with something both practical and/or decorative. This Gate is the easiest project you could ever make!
Hi my name is Steve.
Have you ever had the urge to make things for your home, save money on paying labour charges or just want the joy of working in wood? Well I’ve made series of videos on woodworking. I’ve had over 50 years’ experience in carpentry and joinery, I’ve made some weird and wonderful things. I’ve made craved doors to barn doors to staircases to fitting out a complete church. But you won’t need any experience, you just do some basic measuring, the tools I will show you how to buy, use, sharpen and maintain these tools with safety guidelines.
In this course we make a garden gate. In my other courses I’ve chosen a range of projects, These projects are not fanciful, whimsical novelties but actual additions to your home or someone else’s! But the key word is adaptability, a good proportion of the tutorials are made up of learning skills and knowledge that you will pick up like tool skills, advice on timber buying, and learning some ‘tricks of the trade’ you can then go on to make other projects taking these skills with you. Again don’t worry if you have no experience.
Students will be shown how to make a simple garden gate. They won't need any previous experience or knowledge
The tuition is easy to follow using live video, animated graphics, voice over narration and still images
Students will achieve improvment of the home, while saving money by doing it yourself, there are no joints to make. So minimal tools are needed.

It was pretty simple and easy to follow. I liked the bonus on sharpening tools. I would have liked a bit more on the drawing the plan and how it was measured out. Also are there tricks for getting the points on the gate to all be symmetrical and match.
