New Apprentices start

We are very pleased to welcome our two new apprentices to the workshop.  Douglas Foster from the Building Crafts College in Stratford and Sam Brister from Moulton College.

After a short induction and a bit of tool fettling they will start by making some winding sticks as their first project. These sticks are a workshop aid that will help them see if a surface is truly flat and not twisted or in “wind”. This is particularly useful for their next project and also their first piece for the showroom which will be an octagonal breadboard in oak.photo[1]
