Fundamentals of Fine Woodworking

Monmouth Adult Education Commission (MAECOM) Course: Spring 2006

Course Description: This course provides an introduction to the hand and machine tools

in making basic woodworking joints for solid wood furniture.

Coverage includes sharpening chisels and plane irons, tuning and using handplanes,

stock preparation, edge joinery, surface preparation, making handcut dovetail joints,

mortise and tenon joints, and frame and panel construction.

Numerous exercises are used to provide the student the confidence

needed to prepare the joints. A proper balance between hand and machine tool methods is emphasized.

While not a formal project course, students learn the foundations of fine woodworking which will provide them the confidence to proceed with solid wood furniture construction.

Prerequisites: Open to Adults with some prior experience with woodworking machines.
