Hello, this is Pelly from Hayama Woodworks Studio!
Are you thinking about trying woodworking but feel a bit intimidated by the complexity? With Hayama’s Stool Workshop, even beginners can enjoy woodworking easily. Join us to create your own custom stool and learn the charm of woodworking firsthand!
Join us for a DIY workshop at Hayama’s Hayasta. The stools normally sell for 33,000 yen, but now you can make one for only 19,800 yen! This is a very economical project.
The workshop will be held at Hayama Craftsman’s lodge in Hayama, Hayasta’s partner lumberyard, Nagatsu Lumberyard, located at the foot of deep green Hayama satoyama.
It is sure to be a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Worried About Your Skill Level? Don’t Be! What Will You Do in This Workshop?
This workshop includes a stool kit with pre-cut parts for the seat and legs, which are sized appropriately for the project. The main task is to shape the pieces yourself. You’ll be shaping the seat, adjusting the legs, and attaching them, experiencing the fun of woodworking firsthand. Don’t worry, the instructor will be there to guide you through every step!
The stool legs come pre-formed into cylindrical shapes, but you’ll need to adjust the thickness and length of the legs yourself to fit the seat. This is a great chance to experience the essence of DIY woodworking.
Got it! It’s not just about assembling parts but adjusting and making it your own! That’s what makes woodworking so much fun!
Techniques and Tools You Will Learn at the Workshop
During the workshop, you’ll learn essential woodworking techniques such as:
- Basic Drawing Techniques: Learn how to create simple sketches and translate them into the stool project.
- Wood Cutting, Shaping, and Handling: Gain skills in using tools to cut and shape wood.
- Leg Adjustments and Assembly: Adjust the thickness and length of the legs, then attach them to the seat.
- Safe Tool Usage: Learn how to use power tools safely, including saws, drills, and sanders.
Tools used in the workshop include saws, chisels, sanders, jigsaws, electric drills, and woodturning tools. If you’re new to using power tools, don’t worry—Instructor Ohara will provide hands-on support to make sure you feel comfortable and confident.
If you’re worried about using the tools, don’t be! I will guide you step by step to ensure you feel safe while working with them.
The Workshop is Held in Approximately 4 Hours, Here’s the Process
- Shaping the Seat: Start by shaping the seat piece to your desired form.
- Adjusting the Legs: Adjust the length and thickness of the legs, then prepare to attach them to the seat.
- Attaching the Legs: Drill holes in the seat, and attach the legs using wedges for a sturdy fit.
