A Great & Successful Woodworking Event
Short Course : Furniture Making For Beginners by FRIM
Date : 5th – 6th September 2015
A big thank you to FRIM especially the Wood Machining & Prototyping Workshop led by En. Zairul and his team ( En. Sufian, Aschem & Pn. Nor Izwarina) for making this course a reality.
And not to forget thank you so much to all of you who came and joined this course. Without your great support, this workshop will not be held successfully.
By all accounts, it was fantastic and such a worthwhile experience. Couldn’t ask for more as we had great company, good hospitality, amazing people, delicious food, supportive instructors and most importantly, the valuable knowledge/skills learnt!!!
Hopefully the small coffee table that you’ve learnt to make will be the starting point of your woodworking skills in the future.
Last but not least, looking forward to see you and many more at the next woodworking course. Keep your finger crossed!!! 🙂
