Intro to Joinery - November 14th & 15th

Spend the weekend learning from custom furniture maker, Meredith Hart! In this 2-day weekend class students will learn about and practice three different ways to create wood joints. We will do a half-blind dovetail, a mortise and tenon joint, and a pinned rabbet. Each of these combine machine work and hand tools, so students will attain a wide array of new skills that can be applied to future projects. Students will use a table saw, router table, drill press, dovetail saw, and chisels as well as tools for marking their joints accurately. No prior woodworking experience necessary! Class will take place on November 14th and 15th from 9am - 4pm.
