Joinery 101 - Learn Why Things Hold Together
Woodworking is not just about cutting pieces of wood—it’s about understanding how those pieces are meant to work together.
In Joinery Fundamentals, you'll explore the connections that make woodworking projects stronger, cleaner, and longer-lasting. Learn why certain joints exist, how wood grain affects strength, and when to choose one method over another.
From half-laps and bridle joints to miters, pocket holes, and dowels, this class will help you move beyond simply following plans and start thinking like a maker.
You'll learn:
How wood grain affects strength and glue performance
Why some joints succeed while others fail
How to create accurate, reliable connections
When to prioritize strength, appearance, or efficiency
How experienced woodworkers choose the right joint for the job
Perfect for:
Woodworkers who want to understand the "why" behind woodworking and build projects with more confidence.
Introduction to Woodworking is the prerequisite to taking this class. This is a two-session class, with classes running for 3 hours from 6pm - 9pm on October 5th & 7th and October 19th & 21st.
