Woodworking for Home Schooled Students – 2 Intermediate/Advanced – Winter 2026

This continues the learning in the Basic class Students will be introduced to basic woodworking techniques while making a beautiful wooden table.  They will learn how to make several woodworking joints such as dovetails, mortice and tenon joints. Finally, they will try out some more advanced finishing techniques before choosing one for their project. The table is specially designed to require a wide range of skills and the use of many of the basic furniture making techniques.  Again, while we focus on teaching traditional hand skills, we do so in a way to be enjoyable to the young students.

As with the Basic course, we will look for opportunities to teach related skills.   Most importantly, we try to work with each individual student so all of them to express themselves while learning a new skills.

Each child is allowed to work at their own pace to maximize their learning.  This means that each student gets very individual guidance.  As everyone knows creativity and the process of making things is very important to a child’s development.  That is why we think our classes are so important. In the past the wood working class has made boxes, decorated with pyrography, a chess set and board.
