LAEVELD LEGISLATIVE TRAINING
THE LAEVELD LEGISLATIVE SCHOOL OF WOODWORK
The three Foundation in Woodwork courses are also offered in the form of the Intensive Course, where all fifteen lessons are completed over six days, from a Monday to the Saturday immediately following. This Course has proved to be very popular with students from all over South Africa, and overseas.
Based in NELSPRUIT, The Laeveld Legislative School of Woodwork offers you the opportunity to rediscover the age-old craft of woodwork. Experience the joy and simplicity of working with your hands, along with the satisfaction of learning a useful skill. Whether you are a complete novice or a seasoned woodworker wanting to brush up on technique, you’ll find the course that suits you. Our youngest students were at Grade 8 level, and the oldest at 72 years!
The school was established in 2006 with the aim of providing students with the opportunity to gain knowledge of woodwork techniques, materials, machinery and finishes in a friendly, fun and safe environment. Our small classes ensure the perfect balance between shared learning and individual attention.
We currently offer Beginners’, Intermediate and Advanced courses in our Foundation in Woodwork phase.
Our Intensive Course
All three of our Foundation in Woodwork courses are also offered by way of our Intensive Course. In this instance, all fifteen lessons of the Foundation courses are completed over five days, from a Monday to the Friday immediately following. This Course has been attended by students from all over South Africa, as well as those from outside the country.
COURSES:
BEGINNERS
This course is designed for those who either know little (or nothing) about woodwork, and those who might have forgotten what they did know. We teach students to make simple items to illustrate basic concepts in woodwork, while keeping it enjoyable and fun. By the end of the five-lesson course, you will have a solid understanding of the concept of working with a drawing and making something of it. Along the way, you will be introduced to all the hand tools you need to get going. The emphasis is almost entirely on hand tools (with the exception of powered drills). We demonstrate all the tools and students get to practice using them in class.
INTERMEDIATE
This course caters for students who have completed the beginners course or those with some background in woodwork. The Intermediate course will further your skills and knowledge of woodwork technicalities such as grain direction, sanding, fastening systems (screws, nails, wall plugs, etc) and drill bits. Lessons include demonstrations and discussions on hand power tools such as routers, sanding machines, jig saws, portable circular saws, etc. You’ll also be taught about standing power tools like the table saw, radial arm saw, surfacer, band saw, scroll saw, column drill, chisel morticer.
ADVANCED
By now, you’ll be ready to concentrate on joint-making, in particular, mortise and tenon, dowel joints, pocket-hole joinery, biscuit joinery, butt and half lap joints and edge-joining of solid timber. Advanced students will have enough expertise to make anything from picture frames to furniture, shelving and even decking. You can arrange private classes with one of the teachers at the school for assistance on a particular project you have in mind.
