About this Event
Saws, planes and chisels
If you’re new to woodwork or haven’t done any for a long time, we’d recommend beginning with this course which will get you using key hand tools vital to any woodworker. You will learn how and when to use the different tools and practice using them to make an elegant flip record rack/magazine holder.
In a relaxed environment you’ll learn the correct tools for marking out - from the steel ruler to the sliding bevel – and the difference between the coping saw and tenon saw, the jack plane and block plane. The course also covers how to safely use a wooden mallet and bevel-edged chisel and the right shaping tools and abrasives needed to achieve the best finish.
The course is accompanied by a technical handout that provides a reference for the tools and techniques that you’ve covered. If you enjoy this course, we suggest the Introduction to Powertools is a good next step.
