The
Workshop
Benchworks has been operating in Emu Plains for 12 years, and at it's
current location in Smith Street for the past 8 years.
The owners are Jason & Carolyn Burgmann who took over
the business in January of 2003. Our aim is to develop a
"community friendly workshop", where workshop
members feel a sense of ownership and can make use of the facilities to
create, explore and gain satisfaction from fine woodworking.
Benchworks is currently running evening and daytime
fine woodworking classes along with Bandsawn Box Making
Classes by Tony Ward.
Teachers
Jason's experience as an Industrial Arts Head Teacher, Pattern
Maker (Engineer) and Forman in a Cabinet Making
Firm hold him in good stead for conducting the classes and designing your
fine furniture. John Patterson is also a Pattern Maker (Engineer) and
an accomplished builder/renovator. Ian Vince is a High
School Industrial Arts teacher and has just joined our team this year.
