Heartwood School: Fundamentals of Woodworking

This course is an intensive and comprehensive introduction to wood-working tools, materials, and techniques. It's ideal for those who want to build their own collection of hand and power tools and want to know how to evaluate their needs and what to buy in the future. Each day, students will work on a different individual project of their choice, will learn to understand the nature of various woods, how to select appropriate joinery for the job at hand, and how to use and maintain tools properly. To learn how to set up and maintain the ideal home workshop, students will become familiar with jigs and measuring devices, chisels and planes, routers and jointers, table saws and band saws, plate joinery, sanders, drill press techniques, and much more.
