per personThe workshop in detail
Michel will welcome you to his studio for eight hours of woodworking discovery, and improve your skills and knowledge, in particular: half-wood assembly, framing, dowelling, panel sawing, edge covering, and make, with his precious help, a unique coffee table!
The discovery of the place, some theoretical bases on woodworking and the tools used will start the session, you will go from the raw material to the finished product and discover truing, planing, tracing, sawing, notching and gluing.
After highlighting the importance of the outline, you will work on traditional half-wood and forged joints using a saw, bedan and chisel. The fundamental role of a precise tracing and its respect will be obvious to you.
After a few hours and a careful sanding followed by a coat of oil, your creation will be finished!
Michel will accompany you throughout this immersive woodworking workshop!

Une expérience incroyable passée dans les locaux de Michel ! Et il y est pour beaucoup ! Des anecdotes, des explications détaillées et agrémentées de son humour chantant. Tout cela en nous passant sa passion pour le bois et en nous permettant de construire de nos mains une table en hêtre qui restera pour les générations futures. Un grand merci à lui pour ce moment hors du temps !
