Hi all,
I have an opportunity to take some time and study woodworking more
seriously than I have been just working at it, at home. I'm looking for
courses in the 6-12 week range, full time, preferably in cabinet making
or other fine woodworking.
So far, the only one I found was run by David Charlesworth
http://www.davidcharlesworth.co.uk/davidcharlesworth.htm
and is the sort of thing I'm looking for. I'm looking to see what other
alternatives there might be.
The idea for this is that in a few years I may have the option to make a
big change in my life. My thought is that I might take a year or two and
retrain for a new career.
I've also looked at some 1-2 year courses, such as
http://www.finefurnituremaker.com/teaching_workshop/course_brochure.htm
In the meantime, I want to find out, with a shorter course, if it's
something I really wish to pursue, or whether I will forever stay a
moderate bodger in my own little workshop.
By the way, I can't go out and do weekend courses because I live in
Brunei, Borneo at the moment and will be here for the next 3 years, but
I have the option of taking a short break.
thanks,
J.
Alan, there are lots of good courses in Australia, just south of you. In
particular, Tasmania has some excellent tuition available.
