“Choosing the right tool for the job”
There’s a special kind of joy in choosing the right tool for the job — and July’s classes are all about helping you discover which tool sings in your hand, and which one absolutely does not belong anywhere near your project.
The bench is laid out with all the usual suspects: chisels that behave themselves, chisels that don’t, planes that glide like butter, gouges that bite just right, saws that demand respect, and the lathe tools that look like they’re auditioning for a medieval drama. Every one of
them has a purpose. Every one of them has a moment. And learning which tool to reach for — and why — is half the craft.
This July we’re diving into:
🪑 Stool Making — where you’ll learn why a plane is your best friend and why the big chisel is definitely not the answer to everything.
🔪 Chip Carving — tiny cuts, sharp edges, and the surprising truth that the smallest knife often does the biggest job.
🧺 Trug Making — simple lines , clean joints, and the tools that help you coax shape out of stubborn timber.
📚 Bookshelf Making — measuring twice, cutting once, and choosing thetools that make joinery strong, neat, and satisfying.
🌀 Woodturning — the magical moment when the right chisel meets the spinning blank and suddenly you’re making ribbons instead of dust.
Whether you’re brand new to woodworking or you’ve been dabbling for years, these classes are a chance to get hands‑on, learn the “why”behind the “how,” and walk away with something you made yourself —
with the right tools, used well.
