Wood and upholstery course – Making a bi-material side bench

Would you rather sit down to put on your shoes or take a little break? Have you always wanted to learn woodworking and are intrigued by upholstery techniques?

During this multi-skills course of 4 x 3h sessions, you’ll experiment with woodworking and upholstering accompanied by two experienced craftsmen. In the upholstery part, you’ll build a cushioned seating surface that’s as comfortable as you want it to be!

And when it comes to making your bench from ash wood, you’ll learn how to cut your wood to the right lengths, make dowel joints and use a router jig to machine shapes. You’ll also get to finish your wood so you can leave with a smooth, solid structure.

In this course, you’ll learn how to use :

• – Mitre saw
• – Drill press
• – Under-table and flush milling machines

You’ll also learn about strapping, upholstering and stapling.

Approximately four sessions will be devoted to woodworking and two to upholstering.

Total bench dimensions are 26 1/2 “W x 12 ‘D x 22’ high.

You’ll have the freedom to choose your fabric on site!

Skills required: a facility with handicrafts or previous workshop experience would be ideal.

In addition to the 4 sessions, this course includes 4h of autonomy, which should be used to advance your project between each session.
