Expression of Interest

 


Benchworks offers "Fine" woodworking classes for those interested in making classic and original pieces in Australian and exotic timbers. We run evening and daytime classes, no experience is necessary.   After the introductory course or if you already have woodworking experience you may continue attending to use the workshop facilities for your projects.  Our "Community Workshop"  is a great environment to mix with others who enjoy the same interest in woodworking and gain from the knowledge of others as each person brings in their own experiences.
