What to Expect
\n \nThis is a han ds-on workshop where you will practice the layout and execution of dado joinery. We will discuss the mechanics of housing joints and why dados are the superior choice for load-bearing horizontal surfa ces like shelving. You will spend the majority of the class at the workbench using machinery to mill the channels accurately\, followed by using hand tools to refine the fit. By the end of class\, you will have a completed joint sample to take home f or future reference.
\n \nSkills Yo u’ll Acquire
\n \nWho S hould Join
\n \nThis class is desi gned for makers looking to expand their constructi on vocabulary and transition into core woodworking techniques. It is the perfect follow-up for those who attended the previous joinery sessions or any woodworker looking to improve their precision wit h cabinetry and shelving. 18+ Only.
