Description:
Welcome to Woodworking 102 – the next step in your woodworking journey! Building on the foundational skills acquired in Woodworking 101, this intermediate course is designed to elevate your craftsmanship and expand your woodworking knowledge. If you’ve successfully completed 101, you’re ready to explore advanced techniques and take on more challenging projects.
What to Expect
In this hands-on course, you'll deepen your woodworking skills by focusing on:
- Advanced Techniques: Master the intricate process of squaring and gluing lumber into panels and legs.
- Joinery Mastery: Learn various types of joinery, including but not limited to, dowels, and more, to create stronger, more refined connections between your woodworking pieces.
- Attention to Detail: Enhance precision and craftsmanship while working on structured projects or limited custom designs.
Projects
Participants will have the option to choose from a selection of design structured projects, such as:
- Side tables
- Hall tables
- Small Cabinets
- Decorative boxes
- Cutting boards (Will need to bring your own wood for this)
Session Details
- Length: Four sessions, running from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with an optional additional hour (9:00 PM–10:00 PM) for those who need extra time to refine their work.
- Included Shop Time: Participants will also have additional access to the woodshop outside of class hours, allowing them to catch up or continue working on their projects independently. (This will give you a temporary limited woodshop membership for the duration of the course.)
Why Take This Course?
Woodworking 102 is a progressive course designed to build directly on the skills acquired in Woodworking 101. By completing these two courses in sequence, you’ll gain a robust skill set that equips you to tackle increasingly ambitious projects with confidence.
