Denver Beginner Woodworking Classes
Our Denver beginner woodworking classes are for individuals with little or no experience. We start with the basics for all your future woodworking projects. We pick our lumber, mill it to size, glue panels where necessary, and learn a basic but strong method of joinery. We learn the use and safety of the table saw, jointer, planer, router and other tools. All students will leave class with a completed small side table or small bookshelf.
You can choose to build a table or bookcase for your beginner class. Beginner classes are offered once per month. Please call 303-902-8856 or email for details. Class Fee includes all materials, safety equipment, and use of equipment. Check out the class schedule calendar below. Classes are offered in Denver, CO. Intermediate classes are available for the more advanced woodworker.
What will I learn in the beginner class?
You will learn to safely use the table saw, jointer, planer, miter saw and router to build either a small table or small bookcase. You will learn the process of gluing up panels to look like one board. Then, you will learn a simple method of joinery that will allow you to build many other projects. The lessons learned in the beginner class are the most important lessons for all of your next projects. We learn how these machines work together to make a board square and straight. At the end, we learn how to finish the project to look professional with little effort. You will do the final finish at home, but we discuss how to make it look great with stain and top coat.
