    Would love to do it ,not sure how you would go about it ,am based in Straffan in Kildare and also have a place in gorey co Wexford .Have done numerous courses over the years and now I have retired from the day job ,would love to give up some time to show people who might be interested in learning .
    The last course I done was chaincarving in the US ,now that was something .But would love to get in touch with any type of group that might like to learn a woodcraft
    Rustic stuff is fantastic the fact there is very little cost for materials.
    Flower making would be great for both men and women again no cost .
    Anyway cheers for now .

    I'm away next week ,so when I come back we will try and organise something .
    What do you think you would be interested in ,chair making or flower making ,there is so much you can do in rustic type woodworking. And the material is right under our noses and free of charge .
    Between now and February is the time I collect my timber from the forest ,when the sap is down in the trees.
    It's a fantastic pastime when you get into it ,and in no time you can be making money at craft shows.
    Cheers for now Mick.

    That would be great, thanks Mick. I am interested in doing small items like bird feeders or jewelry boxes but eventual I will like to repurpose broken furniture aswell. But what I will like the most is learn all the wood making tools, what they do and how to use them correctly. Thanks for replying to me

    Hi Paul ,what sort of stuff are you making ?. I got into rustic a few years ago ,It is so different .
    Do you have a workshop ,I work both with a men's shed and also from my workshop here in Kildare. It would be great do get a few people together to get rustic woodwork up and running ,to maybe to meet up and share Idea's or to learn a new form of woodwork .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 boomer310


    Moving to laois...building workspace... currently not making...hope to be up and running in new year. .. weather permitting

    Isn't a better idea to start teaching via Youtube? I don't know what others' say but yes, I am surely ready to learn.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58 ✭✭Fina82


    I could watch YouTube videos all day but it doesn't compare with having somebody explaining you things personally
