There is a sense of excitement when you first open a new box. The anticipation of what secret lies beneath the lid.
In this woodworking course in Marrickville, you will experience the joy of box making. You will learn how to design and build your own unique and beautiful box using traditional techniques with traditional hand tools and ethically sourced reclaimed timber.
Specifically, the course will provide you with an understanding of timber and woodworking tools as well as providing you with the skills to make two different styles of boxes (mitred and pinned). If time allows, you will also be shown how to make a third box, a simple bandsaw box.
You will walk away with two beautiful boxes you’ve built yourself, but also with a range of skills and knowledge that will leave you ready to tackle a range of projects of your own.

  • Beginner-friendly. This workshop is aimed at people with no or minimal experience with woodworking and who are looking for an introduction to the craft. It is open to anyone 16 years and over

Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville. 
Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. To make it as easy as possible to work with, we offer custom machining and glueing, so the timber in our store can be squared, resurfaced and cut to specific dimensions. We also help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake woodworking projects by offering woodworking beginners classes that are taught with simple hand tools. 
 
Lumberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes, ATT is one of the few places that caters not only to architects, planners, homeowners as well as carpenters and tradespeople but also to customers that have little to no woodworking experience and are embarking on DIY and student projects or trying their hand at repair, renovating or building. 
Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, and woodworking. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well.
 
All-in-all, everyone that is interested in wood is welcome!
