Turn timber into furniture. 🪵✨ Join us for our one-day workshop where you will learn to build functional outdoor furniture using salvaged and recycled timber. This hands-on session is perfect for beginners, renters, and anyone interested in sustainable DIY. We provide everything you need—recycled materials, tools, and safety gear—to guide you through the entire process from start to finish. What you will learn: Learn to measure, mark, and cut timber accurately using tools like the drop saw, impact driver, and drill. Master basic joinery and safe assembly through pre-drilling, clamping, and fastening techniques. Learn final sanding techniques, weather-resistant finishing options, and quality assurance checks. By the end of the day, you will have the confidence to select and prepare recycled timber for your own future projects at home. ♻️🔨 Press the following link to book or click the link in our bio to explore all of our workshops and book online /diy-outdoor-furniture-from-reclaimed-timber-30-may-2026 #SustainableDIY #RecycledTimber #WoodworkingWorkshop #BowerReuse #OutdoorFurniture #MakersMovement #CircularEconomy #SkillBuilding
