About this Class

Virtually all woodworking projects involve measurement and math, for everything from calculating needed materials to ensuring that parts are cut to dimensions that fit together properly.

Part of BARN's Woodworking Basics series, this class offers tips about how to lay out angles and curves, how to measure, and how to mark dimensions to ensure accuracy. You also learn basic math principles that are helpful in woodworking - and ways to cope if math isn't your strong suit.
