  Have you always wanted to know the Tips & Tricks of doing River Pours? How to get rid of those pesky air bubbles in pour on finishes? Or how to achieve great finishes using recycled timber? What products and requirements can be used for internal and external conditions?
  This workshop will give you all the tips and tricks and correct products to do River Pours and more. By doing your own projects you will be loaded up with techniques for working with recycled and new timber for making unique woodwork projects. You will gain tips & tricks on how to take very ordinary pieces of timber from fence palings to slab timber and turn them
  into one off masterpieces. The plan is for you to bring manageable pieces of 2nd hand timber with you to play with over the two days. We will do the pouring / Epoxy coating on Saturday and finishing on Sunday.
  We will provide you with a list of goodies (Do not sweat if you do not have timber – we can supply) and tools you will need to bring once advised you have selected our knowledgeable workshop.
