Build a traditional sawbench as you learn fundamental hand-tool skills including how to lay out your cuts, use handsaws, chisels, bench planes, router planes and more. Plus, you'll learn how to properly use cut nails (without splitting the wood).

Sure, you'll get a nice sawbench out of it, but the real joy is in the new techniques you'll pick up. Bonus: A sawbench doubles as seating on a lunch break...or around the dining room table at Thanksgiving when needs must.

Students will receive a tool list from the instructor.
