just about anything out of wood.
You will learn about wood movement,

that you get to take home with you!
This workshop will show you
woodworking strategies that can be applied
to any project that you might want to build.

and hands on practice
in the art of joinery and
begin to master these joints
with a combination of
hand tools and power tools,
Master these joints and
the door is open for you into
the world of fine furniture
