with Austin ChandelerSunday, January 25, 2026, 12 PM - 3 PM
This class is a fundamentally essential way to be introduced into working with traditional hand tools that have been used for thousands of years. The focal points will be using hand planes, learning how to setup and adjust planes to flatten/smooth a board, join an edge and beveling. Handsaws, which we will cover western and Japanese pull saws to practice proper sawing techniques. Chisels will be used also to practice making a mortise with clean edges. During the class we will also talk and use other hand tools such as spoke shaves, card scrapers, drawknives, rasps/files etc. This class elevates your skill set to begin using various tools and skills to start implementing them into your own projects.
