BENCH BOOT CAMP / APRIL 9 – 11 / 9AM – 3PM (Three days)

$1,250.00

THREE-DAY BENCH BOOT CAMP / Build it. Own your workspace

The workbench is the foundation of your workspace. It’s more than a table. It’s the launchpad of everything you make! The engine room of every project. If you’re done clamping to dining tables, or ‘making do’, this is your line in the sand.

Bench Boot Camp is a three-day intensive where you build your own custom-height workbench from scratch – solid, functional and built to last. The dimensions have been worked out to get the most out of the material. Each student has a material allowance which includes 1 x ply sheet 2400mm x 1200mm. The depth of the bench frame may not exceed 600mm. Please note, the class fee includes materials. You will be given structural pine and one plywood sheet to construct your bench. If you require any additional materials, such as hardwood to extend your bench top, drawer runners or other hardware, please bring this with you to the class. See below for full course details
