In this introduction to tools and woodworking we’ll begin with the most basic skills and concepts, and then build on that foundation. If you’re intimidated by tools and the idea of working with your hands, don’t worry — you can do this! The pace in the class will be relaxed and catered to the students’ needs and questions, including time to explore particular repair and woodworking issues. We’ll focus on understanding and using the common hand tools needed for home repair and basic woodworking projects, and then move on to simple power tools, drills and fasteners. Students will practice their new skills by building a basic toolbox.
