What you'll do
Looking for fun things to do in Sydney? Join a woodworking class with Wood Academy in Marrickville and learn a new skill!
In this two-day class, you will learn how to construct a small step stool using hand cut dovetails and through wedged mortise and tenons. Don't worry if you don't know what that means yet! This is a beginner-friendly woodworking course and you will be taken through all the terminology and guided through the process.
You will learn the fundamentals of cutting dovetails and through wedged tenons (a type of wedge joint) as well as how to efficiently use hand tools and some basic power tools such as hand saws, hand planes, chisels, drill press, and marking out tools.
You will develop skills which can be applied to a wide range of timber projects to improve the overall quality and appeal of your projects. You will also learn about dovetail geometry and grain consideration for joinery and aesthetic reasons.
Please note, we require a parent or guardian to be on the premises for the duration of the class if a minor is attending.

Your teacher
There’s a certain magic in creating something with your own two hands. The focus it demands, the joy it imparts, the sense of accomplishment when you transform a simple piece of timber into something extraordinary. At Wood Academy, we celebrate the power of craftsmanship, the way it can ignite passion, inspire creativity, and instil a deep sense of satisfaction. It’s why we believe in one simple truth: Wood Work is good work. The more makers in this world, the better.
