Measuring and Layout

Successful workshop projects start with careful, accurate measuring, marking, and layout. The most critical elements in these steps of the process are good planning, accurate measuring, and using sharp marking tools that create readable lines.

Cutting

Cutting is a fundamental process that’s critical to the success of just about any project you’re likely to undertake in your workshop. It’s essentially a three-part task: laying out the cutting line; setting up for the cut; and executing the cut.

Wood Joinery

Woodworking joinery falls into two major categories–casework and furniture making. Both are defined by its materials, structure, and aesthetics.

Drilling and Shaping

Learn the basics of drilling with hand drills, corded portable drills, cordless drills, and a drill press as well as how to shape wood with hand planes, files, drawknives, spokeshaves, and other hand-powered tools.
