Hand Tool SIG

Hand Tool Special Interest Group

Requirements: Intro to the Guild. 

Presenter: Ken Hall

Topic for February 22, 2024 :

Fixtures that help you use hand tools

Come and learn how to make fixtures to use with hand tools at the bench. After a brief demonstration and discussion, you will get an opportunity to practice your skills at making fixtures with hand tools and for hand tools. We will make plane stops, bench hooks, put pads on the holdfasts, make sticking boards, and shooting boards. Bring your hand tools and let’s get to work outfitting the bench properly.

*Bring your tools for building with hand tools or use ones in the Studio.*

Ken Hall, will give a demonstration, lead a discussion and answer questions about some of the most useful (and sometimes mysterious) tools in the workshop.
