Studio 1

A general view of one of the five bench shops we have here at Shebbear. You can see here Daren Millman giving a short morning demonstration/lecture in this case about “glues and glueing”. These are known in the workshop as “Dimblebies” and are named after the great british journalist Richard Dimbleby who set up the original series of, now long forgotten, “Dimbleby Lectures” A “Dimbleby” is a short talk or demo where we show you a process or technique.

It can be specific like sharpening a scraper or can be longer and more general subject like “Veneering”, in which case a series of Dimblebies are developed to cover the subject.

The aim is to occupy the mid morning Tea or Coffee break with productive time and not take you away from the bench too long. We aim to bend our schedules to fit you guys so we often will run or re run series on a specific subject as the need arises.

Not all Dimblebies are technical, David Savage covers areas ranging from Visual Thinking to Time Management with lots of creative survival stuff in between .
