Carpentry Fundamentals: Potting Bench Make-And-Take
Explore the basics of small-scale carpentry through a hands-on project that you get to take home!
Come for the foundations, and leave with your very own piece of furniture!
In this hands-on course, you’ll gain an introduction to power tools and carpentry by building your own potting bench from scratch!
You'll learn how to read plans, perform measuring, marking, and cutting, and assemble lumber into a sturdy, functional piece of furniture that you'll get to take home at the end of the day. This program will cover safe and accurate use of common household power tools, including drills and drivers, circular saws, mitre saws, and more.
The bench will be constructed with 2x4’s, screws, and wood glue, so no woodworking joinery will be covered in this course. The completed project will measure 60''H x 48''W x 20''D, designed for easy disassembly to a height of 36'' for transport.
