We run a small number of Masterclasses in our workshop every year. Our three key courses are our Summer Hand Tools Masterclass, our Production Masterclass and our Design & Development Masterclass. A Private Mentoring Session is available at any time. Join our mailing list to keep up to date with our offerings.
Private Mentoring Session
I’m regularly asked for small bits of advice and I’d never discourage simple questions. Just email me ev**@****************om.au.
Some of you have more complex questions and you hold back because you don’t wish to impose. I’ve developed the Private Mentoring Session so you can “ask me anything” without feeling uncomfortable about it. More info here:

Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Intensive- Session 1 (8am to Midday, Thursday 15th October)
This four-hour hands-on class, presented by Curtis Turner from Lie-Nielsen USA, will focus on the selection, set up, sharpening and usage of Lie-Nielsen planes. You will use block planes, smoothing planes, shoulder, and router planes. You will learn proper planing techniques, the proper sequence for flattening a board, shooting and material holding methods. You will learn how to sharpen using water stones and a jig. This course is for those new to hand planes or those wanting to get more from their own planes. Feel free to bring along your personal Lie-Neilsen tools and have them tuned up by Curtis. This is a rare opportunity to have small-group access to a Lie-Nielsen expert. Strictly limited to six attendees per session.
Curtis Turner in an American hand tool expert and educator. Curtis has worked for Lie-Nielsen Toolworks USA for over 18 years as a teacher, demonstrator, and member of their board of directors. As an avid woodworker, he is passionate about helping people get the most out of their woodworking hand tools. Curtis has taught woodworking at many schools and guilds, including the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine and Austin School of Furniture in his native Texas.

You do not need to own any Lie-Nielsen tools, nor be an experienced woodworker to attend this course. Novice woodworkers and highly experience makers will benefit from this. The modest course fee of $99 incl. GST helps Dunstone Design cover our insurance, materials and administrative costs.
