Instructor: Eric Diven

During this 9-week course students will become familiarized with working safely with the most commonly used machines in the wood shop. Starting from rough lumber, students will learn accurate stock preparation, layout, and joinery as they build a toolbox. We will also discuss material selection, common hand tools, prep and finishing, and follow-up projects for students to develop their skills further. This is a skill-building class perfect to begin your journey into advanced classes and working independently in AVA's wood shop. $90 Materials Fee applied at checkout.
