Woodworking Course – Assembly

Our assembly course is designed to help you deepen your knowledge of woodworking, and to help you make the right decisions when building a piece of furniture without screws and nails. Assembly is fundamental to the success of furniture construction.

Over the course of 6 sessions, you will learn to be precise, patient, and meticulous by using manual tools and machines to achieve different assembly techniques.

• Day 1:
  • Introduction to the different assemblies you will make during the course.
  • Sharpening chisels with an oil stone and water stone
  • Using hand tools such as wood chisels, back saws, and woodworker’s measuring instruments such as the trusquin and the square.
  • Understanding the jigs on the saw bench to make joints
• Day 2: Mortise and tenon joint
• Day 3: Half-joint joint
• Day 4: Finger joint
• Day 5: Dovetail joint
• Day 6: Continuation of the previous assemblies and practice of the assemblies, via the realization of a puzzle!
