Choice of Chair for 5-Day Course
If you are coming to The Windsor Workshop for the first time, then you have a choice of six Windsors: the Classic, Low-back, Rocker, Blenheim, Continuous arm and Sack Back.
Once you have made one chair, you can also make the settee, though you will need to be a confident and fast worker to complete it in the five days!
Each chair presents its own particular challenges, but whichever you choose you will learn all the fundamental principles of Windsor chairmaking.
Chair Making Courses
No previous experience is necessary to successfully complete a Windsor chair making course and yet experienced woodworkers will still be fully challenged. Individual guidance and assistance will be provided as appropriate, and every effort will be made to ensure a rewarding and enjoyable course.
Chair Making Book
Written by James Mursell, this book was the first new book about the making and design of Windsor chairs for over 10 years. It was written with a broad readership in mind and is aimed at existing Windsor chair makers and also at those who are contemplating making their first chair.

Tool Testimonials
“This tool is phenomenal. I bought two, one for myself and another for my Windsor chairmaker instructor. Compared to the other travishers I have used, yours is very good to work with and everyone who has tried it loves it. I just ordered a second one and your two spokeshaves which I trust will be as enjoyable to use. Thanks again for making such great tools.” LG (USA) 2015
