Walk into any museum, and you will find exhibit after exhibit celebrating pieces that were created entirely by hand, without electricity. In a world dominated by power equipment and technology, the skills of the past often seem magical and elusive, but they don’t have to be. Join us as we unplug, relax, and discover all the ways hand tool skills can complement modern methods of working with wood. Students will learn the process to maintain and sharpen anything. Through a series of exercises, participants will develop the skills to cut to a knife line, wield a chisel like a pro, plane a board flat and square, and prepare a surface for finishing (with minimal sanding). And to top everything off, Eric will thoroughly cover everything about jigs and fixtures that will help make all your work equal to any museum piece.
