I’ve been thinking about the importance of language in cabinet making. It’s important when talking to clients and it’s essential when trying to get ideas across in our pro workshop and furniture school. But how do we get everyone ‘talking from the same page’? Well, my plan at the moment is to use games and quizzes. If we play enough lingo based games during our afternoon brew times we will soon get to grips with the common cabinet making terms. Lets hope so anyway. Next. The LINGO BINGO. House called.

Paul and Austin have joined us this week for a 1 week taster course. Although a week is not a long time we really try hard to give our short course students a feel for what life is like within the school. We are passionate about hand skills. Passionate about high level cabinet making. Passionate about aiming high. Aiming for accuracy and attention for detail. Aiming for our workshop catchphrase, “perfection in the making’. If nothing else we want our students to leave at the end of the week feeling confident that by following our methods for setting up and sharpening hand tools they can  start to hit the standards we aim for in our professional workshop. Tight joints, beautifully finished surfaces and put simply just super neat and tidy work!!!

Oh yes. And have some fun along the way.
