The Gourmet Woodworker
So many useful kitchen tools and equipment can be made out of wood. In this course, you'll learn fundamental woodwork techniques and choose two or more kitchen projects to complete across the week.
Using the glue-lam method, you’ll start with a chopping board of various coloured timbers.
Then you can select from several projects. There’s an essential kitchen item – the spice rack – from basic hand-cut joinery and assembly techniques. You can also try your hand at a traditional wooden tortilla press, a stylish knife rack, toast paddles and more.
