Foundations of Woodworking: Hand Tools: Use & Care (Day 2)

In this session, students will learn about the hand tools in a basic woodworking kit, including:
- layout and measuring tools like the combination square and marking gauge
- Japanese and western-style saws
- chisels
- several types of block plane

You'll practice using these tools on the wood you milled in the previous Machine Tools & Shop Safety class.

Each tool will be examined, its use and proper handling demonstrated, tool maintenance including fine tuning and sharpening, and where to find good tools.

Students are encouraged to bring their own tools for examination and to get hands-on practice sharpening and honing.
