Woodworking for Adults is intended to provide woodworking opportunities for adults of all skill levels. All participants are asked to come to the first class with one or more project ideas. Project ideas can also be provided to allow for the teaching of specific skills. If you are a beginning woodworker, it may be beneficial to begin your woodworking experience with multiple small, simpler projects. Project suggestions can be provided.
Participants will receive instruction on the safe and proper use of tools and equipment, as well as information regarding some common techniques used to create various projects.
