Improve your woodworking knowledge with one-on-one instruction. The process of using woodworking tools in unison to create a final product is the primary focus of this class.
We’ll walk you through using the Jointer, Planer, Table Saw and Drum Sander to gain confidence with each tool. You will also be learning how different materials and their features or defects might affect the finished project.
Woodworking skills taught: Wood identification and selection, milling, gluing/clamping, shaping, and table saw ripping/crosscutting. You’ll also learn how to use a table saw in unexpected ways.
Plus, at the end of three sessions, you get to take home your own hand-made grain end cutting board!
Prerequisites: Attendees must have passed the checkout classes for the Jointer, Planer, Drum Sander and Table Saw.

Reviews on this class:
“Learned a LOT about the table saw, lots of practice and safety instructions which was what I was really taking the class for. Chris was a really good and patient instructor and helped us learn by thinking not just doing.”
“Loved the hands-on guidance using the wood tools, that really helps my confidence level. Also, I wouldn't have known how to approach a cutting board like this, so that was great.”
