Beginner Woodworking & Tool Use

In this class, the students will be putting together a tool caddy from white pine that they will be able to use for bringing any supplies they desire back and forth to the class.  The second project during this class will be a napkin holder, during which they will learn layout of a project, sawing, sanding, drilling, glue application and assembling with screws. If time allows we will apply a water based finish to the project.

Students will learn to use a hammer, coping saw, drill, screwdriver, clamps, sanding sticks, glue application and vise.
