About

Building projects with "tight tolerances" is one of the most difficult and useful tasks a hand-tool woodworker can master. In this class, you'll learn the tricks and advanced skills that allow you to make wooden puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. You'll learn to use:

  • Measuring and marking tools.
  • Japanese saw.
  • Block planes.
  • Chisels.

You'll be able to apply the skills you learn to any future projects that require accuracy.

Details

  • Ages 12-16.
  • Skill level: Beginner.
  • Wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, and tie back long hair.
  • We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.
  • Bring water and a snack.
  • Registration closes Monday, July 22.

Details

A materials fee of $10, included in the class price, covers everything you'll need.
