Hi folks.
I'm good with my hands, being a musician, and I have experience with power-tools, having built Exhibition-stands and Signs in previous jobs. Previously though, my only real-connection with the woodworking hobby has been from making sheds/handrails/loft-hatches etc, for my house that needed extensive renovation. However, now that my house is finished, I would like to learn the fundamentals of woodworking, and if possible, try making some basic furniture.
Can anyone recommend the best way to proceed with this? I've looked round for evening classes but can't find anything in the Colchester, Essex area. A full-time course or apprenticeships would be out of the question, as I would like this to a hobby and not a change of career.
I'm not expecting free tuition or courses, but can't seem to find anything on offer?
Any tips or advice would be most welcomed.
Regards
Joe
