Intro to Planers and Jointers - $20

Planers and Jointers are fundamental to any custom woodworking project, but they are also handy to the DIY'er too. From flooring projects to milling rough sawn lumber, and just about any work that requires your materials to be accurate and smooth, these tools are a must to ensure longevity and the professional look of a well-made project.

Join us virtually for a live, Zoom presentation on how to transform salvaged or rough-sawn lumber into finished material that's square, flat, and ready for a furniture or craft project. Class will focus on reclaimed lumber, but the skills and processes apply to new materials as well.

Skill level: A great next step for folks who have taken an Intro to Carpentry class (or equivalent) and want to tackle finer woodworking.

Skills & info covered:
* selecting wood (grain, knots, cracks, and other qualities)
* dealing with defects
* how to "dress" and "surface" four square faces 
* achieving uniform thickness & width
* Q&A - why flat and square is important

Registration will close at 6:00pm the day before the seminar.
Cost: $20
