This class is intended to help beginning woodworkers understand a selection of basic joinery techniques as well as get hands-on experience creating some.
Topics will include:
- Butt joints - How to cut, when to use, pro/con, reinforcement methods (pocket holes, dowel, etc)

This is intended to be a hand-on class where attendees will perform the techniques being shared. Tryng the techniques is not required, but highly encouraged. Because of this, Eye Protection is required and ear protection suggested.
