Woodworking 102

Take your woodworking skills to the next level in this beginner to intermediate-friendly class. In this project-based course, you'll build on or learn the foundations of woodworking to create a beautiful and functional hexagonal lamp.

This class will go beyond basic tool usage and safety by outlining project planning and design that will prove useful in any future woodworking project. We will explore some geometry useful for building a hexagonal shape, the benefits and use of routers, glue-up strategies, inlays, and safe, precise use of the table saw.

4. Learn safety and usage of the table saw and palm router
