Stage Traditional Carpentry: Building a Shed. -

Minimum age to participate : 16 years

Max number of participants : 8

Duration : 3 days

No woodworking machine or other sophisticated machinery is necessary for getting to know the basics of carpentry. All you need is an axe, some hand tools (an adze, a mortise chisel and others) and in the course of 3 or 5 days (see timetable) you can build your hut, a hen house or even a shed for your compost toilet. Laurent will help you rediscover the basic techniques, but he’ll also give instructions in the use of a woodworking machine to those who wish it.

This workshop provides an essential step towards successfully carrying out your first projects or preparing a personal building plan.
