Tool List
• Cutting/Marking Gauge (FWIW, I prefer a wheel marking gauge, such as the Tite-Mark)
• Dividers (two pair if you have ‘em)
• Marking knife (Ideally, one that has one flat side, but any will do)
• Dovetail template/marking gauge or bevel gauge
• Dovetail saw
• Coping saw or fretsaw
• Bevel-edge chisels (ideally 1/4” or 3/8”, and 1/2” – but bring whatever you have)
• Chisel Mallet
• Rasp (11 or 13-grain)
• Files and/or sandpaper (#80 through #180-grit)
• Spokeshave (optional)
• Rabbet plane (optional)
• Block plane
• Smooth plane
• Double square (a.k.a. diemaker’s square or machinist’s square) or 4” or 6” square
• .5mm mechanical pencil (yes, really – .5!)
We have a small number of tools to share, for those who need them.
If the class sells out, we recommend signing up for the waitlist – we almost always have to fill at least one space.
