Program Objectives

The Fine Woodworking program will enable students to begin the journey towards becoming a professional woodworker. We achieve this by having students design and make fine furniture. The program will give participants a sound foundation in the technical woodworking skills while introducing them to the world of furniture design.

If successful in the Fine Woodwork program, students will also receive credit for Level 1 and Level 2 technical training of their Joinery Apprenticeship.

Students engage in a variety of classroom and shop activities. Theoretical principles of construction are learned in the classroom, while the majority of the time is spent in the shop where students learn and gain mastery of practical carpentry skills. Early activities include the fabrication of small projects where students learn safe practices, proper tool use and fundamental construction techniques. Gradually, students build structures of increased complexity that simulate real-world construction scenarios. Students learn to lay out buildings and to construct concrete formwork, floors, walls, roofs, and stairs in compliance with BC Building Code standards
