Class: Make Woodworking Hand Tools with Will Myers (2 Days)

***This class is not currently being offered. Click here if you want us to consider offering it again in the future. 

Come spend two fun days with hand tool woodworking expert Will Myers, building some fundamental hand tools to fill your tool chest! Students will work with Will to make a traditional & sturdy joiner's mallet, a cutting gauge with a french wedge, a brass & walnut try square, and a traditional bench hook.

This class is a great compliment to our other tool making classes: "Make Workbench Hand Tools with Bill Anderson", "Make a Dovetail Saw & Tenon Saw with Tom Calisto", "Make an 18th Century Panel Saw with Tom Calisto", and some handplane making classes coming up soon.
