Learn the basics of woodworking and try your hand at furniture design in Bien Hecho’s signature “Intro to Woodworking” course for adults and teens, perfect for anyone new to woodworking or in need of a refresher. Starting with the basic properties of wood and continuing through machine use, joinery and the construction of furniture, this course will give you a thorough understanding of the principles of woodworking.
You will complete a side table that you built and finished yourself; each is a great way to show off your skills or give as gifts to friends and family! No prior woodworking experience is necessary, and the cost of wood, tools, safety equipment and materials is included in the course fee.
