Description: 

What tools do most carpenters carry in their tool belts?  How do you sharpen a carpenter’s pencil?  When might you need to use a hand saw?  Where should you use a screw rather than a nail?  Why do we use a base 12 measuring system?  These are just a few of the burning questions answered in our Basic Carpentry Skills 101 courses.  We offer these courses at least once a month to introduce women+ to carpentry fundamentals.  Starting from the very basics, we walk you through the safe use of hand and power tools while building a pair of sawhorses.  Who will find empowerment and community in one of our Basic Carpentry Skills 101 classes?  YOU!
