An outstanding few classes, where we were shown how to prepare wood for use in furniture making across various machines (drop-saw, jointer, planer, table saw).

We were beginners and plenty of time was taken to ensure we understood each process and could undertake it safely.

We then learnt how to assemble and join these pieces of wood to assemble our stool, followed by sanding and waxing.

I highly recommend this class.
