Hand Joinery Fundamentals 

Instructor: Michael Bourgo

Assistant: Justin Ouellette

Prerequisites: Completion of Intro to Guild Safety

Students will learn the fundamentals of layout, sawing, planning, and chiseled work through the production of a few common joints. We will demonstrate the strength and appropriate use of each joint.

This is a critical foundation if you are interested in raising your hand tool skill set!

Materials and tools will be provided.  Students are welcome to bring their personal and required PPE, a pencil, notebook, and a Combination square.
