Are you
interested in woodworking but don't have space for a full-scale industrial
woodworking shop? This hands-on class will introduce you to techniques and
tools that you can use in your garage, back porch or even on your kitchen
table. We'll explore the classic hand tools needed to make furniture:
chisels, hand planes, measuring and marking tools and various types of saws.
We'll also learn to use, evaluate and select small power tools; drills, saws,
biscuit joiners, power planes, sanders and more. We'll look at shop vacs and
dust collection, clamps, fences and hold down systems. With 20+ years as a
professional woodworker, instructor Mike Bray knows scores of tricks and
techniques for working safely and accurately in small spaces. This is a great
class for folks with little or no woodworking experience, and for those
looking to refine their skills. There will be an additional $40 materials fee
due to the instructor on the first day of class. Prerequisite: Woodshop
Safety Orientation. Students who have not met the prerequisites will be
withdrawn and charged the withdrawal fee.
