Hey all, I’m excited to announce the second of our new cutting board classes - Make a Sturdy Cutting Board. Students in this class will make a beast of a board that is overengineered to stand up to punishment and, more importantly, to get practice time using shop tools such as the jointer, planer, miter saw, table saw, router, stationary sanders, and even the Festool Domino. Thanks @JasonSoll for developing and teaching this class!
Join us for a hands-on exploration of beginner to intermediate woodshop techniques, designed to elevate your woodworking skills to the next level. In this course, we will delve into the essential tools and techniques needed to craft a beautiful, functional, and well-constructed hardwood cutting or serving board.
