HANDS-ON. The dovetail joint stands as the symbol of hand tool craftsmanship and for many is regarded as the most challenging test of their skills. Students will learn simple exercises that will give them great confidence with basic hand tools. Howard will provide personal attention and hands-on practice for everyone to learn the layout, sawing, chiseling and assembling of the joint. Both full and half blind dovetails will be covered and each student will receive a set of complete notes. Please bring your own tools: Marking Gauge, 6" Or 12" Ruler, Small Or Medium Try-Square, Sliding Bevel, Dovetail Saw, Bench Chisels (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") and a Bench Or Carvers Mallet.
