Make your own Shave Horse

In an evening! The shave horse is a wonderfully versatile piece of equipment for working in greenwood. It is used to grip the length of wood you are working on and hold it steady to enable you to shape the wood using a draw knife or a spokeshave. You can clamp and shape the wood, move and re-clamp the wood with minimal effort...and it also gives you somewhere to sit down while you work! In just an evening you will build your own shave horse to take home and learn basic techniques of how to use it. The shave horse will be constructed from tanalised timber which can be left outdoors. It will be made using the tried and tested Lumber Horse pattern from Mike Abbott. Venue: National Trust Footprint, Patterdale Rd, Windermere, LA23 1NH 5:30pm - 8:00pm Waiting List - If the course date you would like is full, email to go on the waiting list

Meet a Tree - Deepdive

Spend a day getting to know a tree inside and out! You will never look at a tree in quite the same way... How does a tree move water, support massive branches, drop it’s leaves in Autumn? What lives in, on and under a tree? How does a tree inter-relate with the world around it? What is our ancestral and spiritual connection to trees and why do we feel such a bond with them? How can we use the timber and retain traditional skills in woodwork and woodland care? What does it look like? We will explore the structural, forestry, ecological and spiritual aspects of trees and our relationships with them. There will be hands on activities that help you understand trees alongside an opportunity to whittle a reminder of your day. The day will leave you with a deepened understanding and sense of wonder at the trees we all pass every day and don’t often acknowledge for how special they are. The day is aimed at adults (however children age 12 plus are welcome to book on with an adult) Start Point: National Trust Footprint, Patterdale Road, Windermere, LA23 1NH 9:30am to 4:30pm
