Woodworking Workshop Build A Threelegged Stool

About this course

Participants construct a three-legged stool from timber, using the geometry of the design to create stable angled joints. The workshop introduces wood movement and its importance when planning furniture joinery, alongside reading 1:1 technical drawings. Teaching covers wedged through tenons, gluing and assembly, and the use of hand tools, power tools and professional woodworking machinery. Finishing techniques allow the completed stool to be personalised.
