Handskills Every Woodworker Should Know with Stephen Proctor April 11 - 15, 2022
about this workshop
Literally anything can be made using hand tools, but not everything can be made with machinery. Understanding hand tools and how to use them will enable you to make furniture that would otherwise be impossible to accomplish by power tools alone. The ability to use hand tools will enhance your capabilities and accuracy when using machine tools. Hand tools, correctly prepared and tuned, reduce the need for skill and judgment; the tool will do the job itself. This course is about tuning and using tools as well as marking out and cutting half-lap, mortise and tenon, and dovetail joints. Stephen is so good that every woodworker at any skill level will benefit from being around him. He is a master teacher, fun and personable, and a fair golfer. Oh! Those handy handsome hand tools!
