After much request, we made a brand news class! Intro to Woodworking: Practical Joinery. The first class will be Monday, June 26th
Join Scott Roth, the Tool Library’s Inventory Tool Coordinator and guy who “After sixty plus years of working with wood has the distinction of still having all his fingers” as he teaches you the time-honored foundational techniques of woodworking.
*This class isn’t required in order to use Open Shop Hours or take any of our Woodworking Project Classes, however it is highly encouraged!
Intro to Woodworking covers essential skills, basic tools, and foundational techniques that are used in a wide range of carpentry projects. We strive to make this class fun, friendly, and an ideal starting place for anyone beginning or continuing their woodcraft journey.
Get comfortable with wood materials, properties, nomenclature, and how to use them. Know the questions to ask when purchasing/selecting wood materials and products. Hands on applications and use of of nails, screws, bolts, pocket screws along with glues to make and assemble sturdy joints: dado joints, butt joints, lap joints, and miter joints. These will utilize hand tools like clamps, power saws, drivers and drills, brad and finish nailers, hammers, and routers that are readily available to borrow from the Denver Tool Library. You will take home finished examples of wood joinery to compliment the knowledge you will gain and aid you in your woodworking journey.
