Learn carpentry from a carpenter who trains trade students
Budget Handyman is putting together a set of practical carpentry courses, taught by our founder Zaman Lenin, who has spent 25+ years on the tools and already trains trade students at Albury College. No date is locked in yet, and there is nothing to pay.
Courses are not running yet. Call if you want carpentry work done in the meantime.

The syllabus is still being pinned down. Here is the ground it is built on: hands-on practical work rather than lectures, aimed at people who want to do the job properly, not just pass a test.
Measuring and setting out
The part that decides whether everything after it fits. Reading a space, marking accurately, and checking before cutting.
Hand and power tool work
Using tools properly and safely, keeping them sharp, and knowing which one the job actually calls for.
Joints and fixings
How timber is joined and held, which fixing suits which load, and why the wrong one fails later rather than immediately.
Doors, frames and trim
The most common jobs in any home, done to a standard that holds up, including diagnosing why a door binds.
Built-ins and storage
Scribing to walls that are not square, which is most of them, and building storage that fits the room it lives in.
Finishing properly
The difference between work that looks done and work that looks finished, which is nearly always in the last ten percent.
Where things actually stand
- There is nothing to enrol in yet, and no price set.
- No dates are locked in, online or in person.
- Joining the waitlist costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It just means you find out first.
