Class: Wood Joinery by Hand with Joshua Farnsworth (1 Day)

Come spend a Saturday with Joshua Farnsworth learning how to use traditional hand tools to make some of the most common & useful woodworking joints for traditional furniture making. We’ll cover as many joints as we can get through in one day, including dovetails, mortise & tenon, dados, tongue & groove, and whatever other useful joints we can cram into one day!
