About

Learn how to use woodworking hand tools with a project specifically designed to give you experience with the most common ones. As you build a tote, you'll learn to use:

  • Measuring and marking tools.
  • Crosscut and rip cut hand saws.
  • Hand planes.
  • Chisels.
  • Hand drill (bit and brace).
  • Coping saw.

All steps will be included in the class but you will also need to work on your own to complete your tote.

Details

A $20 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers everything you'll need.

Project

You'll build a two-compartment tote, handy for storing or carrying silverware, garden tools, or other items.
