This entry-level course is intended for the beginning woodworker. Students will be introduced to the how’s and why’s of woodworking, the use of hand tools, and the safe operation of shop equipment. Demonstrations and discussions will supplement hands-on learning as students each build their own one-drawer end table. Learn to edge, join, and four-square boards, along with laying out joinery, cutting tapered legs, joining and gluing up rails to legs with mortise and tenon joinery, and creating and fitting a drawer. Tools and materials will be provided and students are encouraged to bring their favorite hand tools.

This course is open to any member of the LGBTQ+ community. Learn more about our courses for affinity groups.
