Experience
For multiple summers I have worked for Woodwork Tradtional Handmade Furniture in the company's workshop. Woodwork is a local company that designs and makes handmade, bespoke fitted kitchens and bedroom furniture.
​
The work has helped me gain valuable experience by being in a workshop environment and also a fully functioning business with deadlines to be met whilst maintaining a high standard of quality and finish.
​
My time at Woodwork has helped to increase and hone my skill set in building things and using many different types of machinery.
I was instructed and entrusted to operate all of the machines in the workshop which include:
Radial Arm Saw
Mitre/Chop Saw
Table Saw
Belt Sander
Spindle Sander
Drum Sander
Jointer and Planer
Spindle Moulder
Boring Machine
Dovetailing Machine
Spray Booth and Guns
Drill Press
Various Hand Power Tools (Drills, Various Sanders, Routers, Impact Drivers, Staple Guns)
Various Hand Tools (Chisels, Saws)
Air Compression System
Dust Extraction
​
This is also the workshop where I have made a number of my own personal projects. My boss and the foreman trusted me enough to allow me to stay in the workshop after hours and close up having been insructed how to turn off all the machines and air compressor system.
