Question 2

Is there anything I need to do ahead of the course?

Accepted Answer

Please be sure to read and sign our liability and safety forms.

Question 3

What tools will I need?

Accepted Answer

You will need to bring a 24" framing square, 25' tape measure, a few pencils, safety boots, safety glasses, and hearing protection.

You are welcome to bring other hand tools, squares, planes, chisels etc, but this is not required, and I will have everything here that we will need. If you do bring hand tools, I would recommend labeling them well, so they don't get mixed in with the communal shop tools.
