Course Description
Looking for a fun and social woodworking project? Join us in the woodshop for two creative evenings building classic wooden pub games — the kind you’ll want to keep out on the table long after the sawdust settles.
You’ll learn hands-on woodworking techniques as you cut, shape, and assemble your own set of handcrafted games that combine skill, luck, and a touch of friendly competition. Each project is designed to build confidence with tools and materials while leaving plenty of room for creativity and personal flair.
No experience? No problem. Whether you’re new to woodworking or just looking for a relaxed project to share with friends, this course is all about craftsmanship, conversation, and a good time in the shop.
