Hand Tool Joinery Fundamentals

About this class

A class focused on traditional hand tool joinery techniques including the dovetail, mortise and tenon, and box joint using chisels, mallets, and hand saws. Students work through each joint on practice boards and learn layout, sawing to the line, and paring techniques that underpin quality furniture construction. No power tools are required and the skills covered are directly applicable to both furniture making and craft projects.
