First Bench Class Photos
Some pictures from our first Garden Bench class. Thanks to all who attended. Have a seat, you guys earned it!
New Classes Offered: Garden Bench
The Garden Bench class is an excellent introduction for anyone interested in working at the Knowhow Shop or as a gift for your favorite DIY enthusiast. We will cover wood selection, basic milling, joinery, glue-ups and assembly, and of course finishing. The project itself is designed to be simple without being simplistic, and should be a good challenge for beginning woodworkers.
