Learn dovetailing the way apprentices apprentices traditionally mastered certain woodworking techniques: by following instructions, using accurate tools and then practicing these hand skills.
The class will consist of four classes taught on successive Tuesday nights (October 3th, October 10th, October 17th and October 24th) covering the following: (1) Exploration of the features and uses of hand tools used in dovetailing, including sharpening and grinding (2) Beginning to dovetail and the establishment of good dovetailing technique and (3) Continued practice and development of dovetailing skill.
Initially students will learn to grind and sharpen tools their tools, and then learn how to accurately lay out a joint, saw straight consistently, and chisel precisely. The home assignment will entail cutting a dovetail a day, putting into regular practice this woodworking essential. Students' progress will be evaluated with areas for improvement noted. If anyone runs into trouble during their daily dovetailing, they are welcome to confer with Joel via Skype to get them back on the right track.
The class teaches a fundamental woodworking skill via correct technique and regular repetition. Once you have your dovetailing skill in place, you can go on to do all kinds of fancy woodworking.
Class size is limited to four. Tuition includes all materials (including the homework) and use of tools during the class but students must obtain certain tools for home practice.
