Spend the weekend learning traditional tool making and applying it on a simple project. This class is appropriate for all skill levels. 

On day one, you'll be building a bow saw. Don will be demoing three styles, from a simpler version for general carpentry, to a scroll saw like version for intricate forms (you are heavily encouraged to build the carpentry one however). This is the focus of our weekend.

On day two, you'll use that tool to cut out your oak seat, with legs being formed with a draw knife and tenon cutter. Hopefully, by the end of that day, your project will be complete (or you'll have the tools and insight to finish it yourself!)

Don Weber, the Bodger of Paint Lick, is a traditional woodworker, blacksmith, tool, furniture and fly-rod maker. We've been lucky to have him leading workshops for the past several years through our traditional craft programming and beyond. Do not miss this opportunity!
