One of the joys of woodwork is making objects that have both function and beauty. In this beginner-to-intermediate course, you’ll work with our instructors to build, finish and wire up a speaker cabinet from reclaimed Australian hardwood.
Across six weeks, you’ll use a range of hand and power tools and watch your very own speaker cabinet take form and produce sound, as well as learn about wiring and soldering, and the history of cabinet design and function.
This speaker cabinet project is for a small ‘practice style’ box that follows in the footsteps of the early Fender Woody design but will give you all the skills to embark on making speaker cabs of all sizes for yourself.
Bring your own 10 or 12 inch speaker cone or we can supply a Celestion speaker for an additional cost.
What we'll cover:
  • A history and understanding of amp, speaker and cabinet design and function.
  • An introduction to using a range of hand tools in a safe and encouraging environment.
  • Selecting timber for your speaker cabinet and understanding different timbers.
  • An introduction to adding final details and features with hand tools such as hand planes.
  • Finishing techniques for timber projects.
  • Wiring and soldering a simple electronic project.
By the end of the course, you will leave with some new woodworking skills, as well as your own guitar speaker cabinet to take home!
This course is open to students 13 and older. Among The Trees accepts students under 18 in two groups:
  • Students 13-15 years of age must attend all courses with a parent or guardian. This parent or guardian must also purchase a place in the course and take part. One parent/guardian is able to attend with multiple students.
  • Students 16-17 years of age may attend a course without a parent or guardian present.
You can read our full Child Safe Policy on the booking page.

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!
