Introduction to Hand Tools

Hand tools are making a comeback! They’re much quieter and in some ways easier to use, especially in the small shop. You’ll learn all about the different hand tools available, and when and where to use them. We will cover marking and measuring, chisels, hand planes, and hand saws. We will also take you through the process of sharpening a cabinet scraper and how to use it effectively on burls and highly figured woods. You'll leave with a newfound appreciation for what hand tools can do!
