Build essential carpentry skills while contributing to a community project!
In this hands-on introductory course, you’ll learn how to safely and confidently use the most common power tools—circular saw, jig saw, drill, driver, and miter saw—while working together as a class to build a full-size picnic bench for the Horn Farm Center's farmhouse lawn.
This collaborative project allows you to immediately apply each skill as you learn it and experience the satisfaction of creating something useful that will serve the community for years to come!
Through guided demos and supervised practice, you’ll learn how to measure and mark wood, understand tool settings and blade types, make straight and curved cuts, assemble with pocket-hole joinery, and choose fasteners for strong, long-lasting outdoor projects. We'll also explore additional hand and power tools that can help make future home or garden improvement projects feel approachable and achievable.
