Hand tools can take over where your power tools leave off. They'll help you smooth your boards for a top shelf finish, fine tune the fit of your joinery, and create beautiful wood furniture. So get started right.......or get back on track where you left off years ago. In this class you'll learn how to use the 9 basic hand tools: chisel, hand plane, dovetail saw, combination square, marking knife, sliding bevel, router, plane, and hammer. Then learn how to put them to work making the 3 traditional joints used in fine woodworking: the dado, the mortise and tenon, and the dovetail.

Are you look for a unique and fun experience to have for a date night? Then bring your significant other to our "Date Night" and learn to turn on a lathe!
