This class will introduce you to the common hand-powered tools of the basic woodworking tool kit. We will, also, discuss benches, hand planes, chisels, saws, and measuring and layout tools. You will learn about their use and care. The objective of this class is to see the range of hand tools used in woodworking so that you can become better shoppers for tools when that time comes.
