ABOUT BLUEWOOD HANDYMAN TUTORIALS
ABOUT BLUEWOOD HANDYMAN TUTORIALS
At BlueWood Handyman, the mission is simple: to share structured, high-quality woodworking tutorials that support both new and experienced woodworkers, carpenters, joiners and DIYers. These resources are additional aids for students taking City & Guilds Construction, Site Carpentry, and Bench Joinery courses - courses I personally teach, blending in-depth theory with hands-on practical lessons.
Whether you’re currently studying, re-learning old skills, or just getting started in woodworking, I’ve designed these tutorials to be practical and engaging. They’re based on the same teaching methods I use in the classroom and college workshop, so you can build your skills and confidence step by step.
This site is a work in progress, and I’ll be continually adding new tutorials, so keep checking back for the latest content. Your feedback is incredibly valuable - if you find the tutorials helpful, I’d appreciate you leaving a Google Review for BlueWood Handyman, specifically mentioning our online tutorials. It helps others discover these resources and keeps our woodworking community growing strong!
