Come discover the potential in hand tools! A surprising number of woodworking projects can be completed with hand tools alone. Start your woodworking journey with the basics or dust off the skills you learned in shop class. We’ll cover measuring and marking, cutting, smoothing and shaping with marking tools, hand saws, planers and chisels.
This workshop is for ages 15+
