Woodworking Courses

We have been organizing carpentry courses in Počátky near Chotěboř for many years. We are very happy that the courses are still very popular, and we are also very inspired by meeting you. We adapt the courses individually to your interests, knowledge and skills, so that beginners and advanced people interested in this craft take away a lot of new knowledge and acquire a lot of necessary skills, or take away their own product. We are very pleased if one of the participants is so interested in the carpentry course that he decides to come to us repeatedly and continue with further teaching or the production of his own project.

Carpentry courses - Photos from projects

Many participants were so impressed by our carpentry course that they come to us repeatedly and continue their lessons, or create their own smaller or larger projects here. As part of the carpentry courses, we have already produced, for example, a chest of drawers, a kitchen unit from spruce joints, doors, a sash window, stairs, bunk beds, solid ash tables and many other products.

Spruce jointed shelf cabinet

The project is an example of a fairly easy and effective procedure. A large part of the work was in the careful formatting of the boards, the staking out of the shelves and the subsequent precise splicing and tidying up of all the parts.

Chest of drawers

The next project is a bit more complicated than the open shelf cabinet, the production of which we have already described here. It is a chest of drawers made of spruce joints. This project was completed in the course participant's home workshop.

Pantograph

A simple tool that we use for marking products and milling various images and decorations.
