What This Workshop Offers
This 5 day workshop
will take you into the heart of woodworking

These techniques are the
building blocks of woodworking.
Learn these three and
you will be able to build
just about anything out of wood.
You will learn about wood movement,
how to safely operate tools
and learn basic joinery,
while making a shaker style hall table
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.
You will receive instruction
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
Come spend some time in the woodshop
