Beschreibung
Are you interested in learning to work with wood only using hand tools? This course is an excellent introduction to woodworking, and it's great for to learning some traditional techniques and skills. By the end of the course, you'll have a solid understanding how to join wood implementing the comb/box and dovetail joinery - and how to identify different types of wood and their uses. In practical exercises you will learn to use the most important tools and aids (chisels, saws, hand planes, workbenches and Workholding) that will allow you to make your first small objects yourself. For example, at the end of the course you will take home a storage box - handmade by you. The course will be held in English, some explanations can be given in German. Cara Fuchs, originally from South Africa, works as a carpenter and has completed the qualification of Certified Master Carpenter (Tischlermeister).
