Question from Rich L.
Hi. If I've never taken a woodworking class before., will I be OK in this class?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Rich! It is best to have some prior experience building and be comfortable with using machines. It isn't an advanced design for a chair, (actually very minimal) but you must follow the safety rules and plans or it becomes complicated. This class involves getting comfortable with the table saw, bandsaw and router table. This class involves machine based joinery with use of hand tools for refining and finishing. They would classify this as leaning more towards intermediate level. A beginner can be fine in this class if they are focused, and respond well to hands-on learning, show up on time for all meetings, and are okay with following the project exactly. We have had quite a few first time woodworking students take the class do very well, however, they stayed focused and stayed with the plan.
