What you'll do
Looking for unique things to do in Sydney? Learn how to make a cheese or chopping board using a hand plane!
This is a great introduction to woodwork for anyone who would like to be introduced to the joys of working with timber and in particular, working with hand planes. Hand planes may seem a bit old-fashioned, but through this class, you will learn about their many uses and upkeep.
During the day, you will learn about timber and metal hand planes, including assembling a plane from parts, preparing it for use, and planning a range of timbers.
Learn about how best to work with reclaimed timber, accurate measuring and marking, and the safe and effective use of a variety of hand planes and other tools. You'll discover the satisfaction that comes from creating something tangible with your hands and working with ethically sourced materials.
By the end of the class, you will have a strong understanding of hand planes’ use and care, practiced hand planning skills, as well as a small hand-finished cheese/chopping board to take home.
This course is open to students 13 and older. Among The Trees accepts students under 18 in two groups:
- Students 13-15 years of age must attend all courses with a parent or guardian. This parent or guardian must also purchase a place in the course and take part. One parent/guardian is able to attend with multiple students.
- Students 16-17 years of age may attend a course without a parent or guardian present.

Your teacher
Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville.Â
Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools.Â
Â
Lumberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes, ATT is one of the few places that caters not only to architects, planners, homeowners as well as carpenters and tradespeople but also to customers that have little to no woodworking experience and are embarking on DIY and student projects or trying their hand at repair, renovating or building.Â
Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, and woodworking. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well.
Â
All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!
