I am pleased to announce a new series of workshops to build and reinforce baseline woodworking skills using both power and hand tools

The July workshop will be focused on lumber selection and milling using a mix of tooling with plenty of hands-on exercises

Class details:
- lumber grading and sources
- rough vs S2 vs S4
- lumber storage
- power milling using jointer, planer, table saw and bandsaw
- hand tool alternatives for above
- checking for flat and square (including 5 cut method)
- hand plane and scraper honing demo and exercise
- hand plane and scraper exercise to remove milling marks, size adjustment and ready for finish without sanding

Class will run from 9am to 3 or 4 pm at my shop in NE Raleigh (shop has AC). Lunch will be provided

Cost of class is $30 donation to site - NO charge for active military

I cannot be held responsible for participants gaining a desire for Hammer, Powermatic or Lie-Nielsen tools

Next in the series of Baseline Skills workshops will be joinery probably late August

To ensure enough hands-on for all, the max number of students will be eight

Sign-up by responding to this post - I will keep list below

1. Clay (cobraguy)
2. Michael Mathews
3. Cole (coletrain)
4. Mike (patlaw)
5. Johnny (jcz)

Will this be a one day class? On Saturday? I may be interested.

Yes this class will be one day on Saturday July 28. There will be followup classes on other baseline skills on other Saturdays.

If my schedule allows, I will do a class each month on different basic skills

Possible future schedule would be:
August - basic joinery
Sept - edge treatment
Oct - ??

I'm interested and the date sounds good but I'll have to ask my parents if I can go that far for a class. I'm almost 2 hours away.

I would like to attend. I have little experience with the hand tools and would appreciate the opportunity to learn how to use them

I don't know? I have been hearing a lot about a snake infested workshop area. You guys may want to take a sharp shovel with you.
I'm just saying.........

Actually they do taste just like chicken. Best to cut up in nugget size and cook on a stick over a camp fire. Easy to clean, just hold by the head, cut the skin around just behind the head and peel off the skin - be careful, they do tend to get mad when you do this
