Whether you're planning to build a CLC kit boat or just want to build confidence with hand tools, this class is for you! For inexperienced builders, picking up a plane or chisel for the first time can be intimidating, hence the Hand Tool Class. Come spend an evening learning the foundations of craft. We'll go over the tools and techniques used in fine woodworking and boatbuilding alike.
In a few short hours, you'll know how to sharpen and use a hand plane, chisels, pull saws, and a few power tools like drills, drivers, and sanders. After this class you'll have the confidence to start sharpening tools and knives at home!
We highly recommend taking this class ahead of our November Boat Building Class, but it's open to anyone who wants to learn the basics.
Class Curriculum:
Intro to hand tool fundamentals (with CLC Kayak building as our working example)
Tool requirements for a typical build
Why we use those tools
Lesson on hand planes, chisels, and saws
Demo on using a block plane and chisels
Demo on sharpening a block plane and chisels
Demo on pull saws, drill, driver, and sander
