Basic Woodworking: Make a Stool from Salvaged Wood

In this class, you will learn some basic woodworking skills with an emphasis on using hand tools. We will use time-honored tools and techniques, learn some simple joinery, and create a useful little stool for your home out of the kind of wood you might find lying on the side of the road. If time permits, we will cover some finishing and ornamentation techniques to make your milking stool shine with personality.

I hope you’ll leave this class feeling inspired and ready to scrounge up some wood from the dumpster, garage, side of the road (or wherever!) and use your skills to make it into something new.
