WW_P: Hand Tool Basics Workshop (4 sessions)

This is the ultimate hand tools wood shop class for beginner woodworkers you've been looking for. I’m bringing all the skills I’ve learned from Rowden Atelier to Nova Labs. Learn and practice the techniques you'll need to use basic joinery (mortise and tenon joints, dovetails, and more) to make, repair, or restore furniture and other wood projects.

Beginner woodworkers can learn essential woodworking skills for shaping and finishing their projects like a pro.

Prerequisites: None. 

This class will take place over 4 weeks. Each session will include direct instruction,  modeling step-by-step. You'll then get to practice and hone your skills in class and get instructions on how to practice the technique between sessions. All materials are provided.
