Introduction to Router Techniques
Dates: 17-18 July 2010
Fees: $425, GST included (non-refundable)
Prerequisite Skills : None
This two-day workshop covers safe use of routers and selection of useful and worthwhile router bits. The focus will be on explanation and demonstration of both hand-held routing using jigs and the use of the router table. It is not required that you bring your own router but you may if you have specific questions about its adjustment and use. If you do not already own a router it might be wise to defer the selection until after this workshop.
Advanced Router Use
Dates: 28-29 August 2010
Fees: $450, GST included (non-refundable)
Prerequisite Skills: Introduction to Router Techniques or previous experience with the principles taught in that course.
This two-day workshop gives hands-on experience with routers and routing both hand-held and on the router table, as well as the construction of jigs. If feasible, students should bring their own routers in order to make the most of this workshop. Students should bring their own hearing protection earmuffs if they have them. We recommend Grade 5 earmuffs. If you do not own earmuffs, we will supply them for your use whilst here.
Advanced Hand Skills
(1 Week) - 13-17 Sept. 2010
Cost: $800 GST inc, non refundable
Estimated material costs $100-$200 or bring your own timber.
Enjoy the opportunity to further develop your skills as we build this small project completely by hand. We will tackle advanced technical skills for example secret mitred and angled dovetails, tricky three way lap joints, coopering and curving panels. Expectations will be high – this is a good opportunity to challenge yourself without being judged.
Treen

Development of small scale wooden batch production items – often called “Bread & Butter” products. This course will focus on the importance of market research and product development to facilitate profit and ultimately the presentation of these items for sale to a market via a blog and website. This is a great opportunity to work on applied design process and investigate ways of simplifying and streamlining production.
Chest of Drawers

This fascinating piece of furniture allows students to take advantage of the repetitive nature of drawer making to gain pace and become fully capable in this process. Elegance, subtlety and the application of traditional drawer and case making techniques will be by-words here. A great design opportunity.
