WWP-R101: Woodworking Basics with Make and Take - Red Tool Purcellville

This two-session workshop is for beginning woodworkers wanting to learn how to use Makersmiths Purcellville woodworking tools safely. The schedule is designed to allow sufficient time for reviewing proper tool usage and completing a beginner’s woodworking project. No prior woodworking experience necessary.
