A Course That Turns Curiosity into Skill
Wood, technology, and a focused working atmosphere characterize this event experience. Master carpenter Martin introduces the circular saw, band saw, and thickness planer, explains the processes understandably, and demonstrates the initial work steps directly at the machines. The course is limited to a maximum of 8 participants, ensuring intensive target group engagement and plenty of personal guidance.

Practice, Safety, and Workshop Feel
The focus is on safe organization, clear instruction, and a straightforward introduction to working with large machines. After the workshop, participants should be able to operate the machines independently and carry out initial tasks under the supervision of the workshop management. This makes the course particularly attractive for everyone wishing to expand their craftsmanship skills. ([ticketing.zam.haus](https://ticketing.zam.haus/ZAM/holzwerkstatt/1391/))
