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.
