5 Board Bench

Classic 5 Board Bench

Dates June 8th

This one day course will enable you to build a classic 5 Board bench, often seen on farm verandahs and around kitchen tables. Simple to make, yet sturdy enough to last generations. The class will be capped at 4 participants and will be taught by our own furniture maker, restorer and teacher, Scott Rowlings.  COST: $280

​

​

In this one day course, students will build a timber bench, using a variety of tools and machines. It is suitable for all skill levels, and participants over the age of 15.

Students will be required to wear cotton workclothes, closed in leather shoes, and bring their own hearing and eye protection.

Lunch will be provided.

Scott Rowlings: I started teaching in 2005 but have been building things ever since I could pick up a hammer. Mon Repos Narrandera has been a breath of fresh air for my teaching, and I'm enjoying teaching adults.

Having the workshop and classroom space at MRN is enabling me to spend time with my family while also having the flexibility to spend time in the workshop.

I have a particular interest in hand tool woodworking, and traditional joinery. Old tools and machinery are beautiful, functional pieces of timber and metal that can craft anything, without the noise and dust associated with power tools.

​

Once you’ve learnt a little, the thirst for more knowledge takes you on an incredible journey. A bit of sweat, a bit of sawdust, and you're suddenly building things you never dreamed of!
