WW_P: Hand Tool Basics Class: Build a Mallet (4 sessions)

IMPORTANT: This is a 4 session class (dates below)

If you’ve been looking for a “hand tool class” this is the one for you. I’m bringing all the skills I’ve learned from Rowden Atelier to Nova Labs. The focus will be on both how to set up and use tools properly to shape wood, and the precision that goes along with creating an object like a mallet, mortise and tenons, dovetails, and more. 

Learn the basics of hand tool woodworking by building your own mallet in this hands-on class. This class is perfect for beginners who want to learn essential woodworking skills and create a functional tool for their workshop.

This class will take place over 4 weeks. Each session will include direct instruction and modeling step-by-step with the expectation that you will practice skills between sessions.
