Fine woodworking with hand tools, while challenging, is also rewarding and satisfying. In this class, students will learn how to use marking tools, chisels, a mallet, and a dovetail saw to make a set of dovetails and pins on poplar practice boards. We will also develop chisel-sharpening skills to keep a keen edge as the work progresses. At the end of this class you will have the skills necessary to implement this beautiful, traditional form of joinery in all of your woodworking projects!
Class consists of two 3-hour sessions from 6-9pm. No experience required. Class minimum of two students required. If class minimum is not met, student will have the opportunity to reschedule or receive a full refund.
