Woodworking Fundamentals

Woodworking Fundamentals teaches you to work confidently with both hand tools and power tools, understand how wood moves with humidity, and cut the joints that make furniture last decades. You will complete four progressively complex skill exercises — a shooting board, a mortise-and-tenon sample, a dovetailed box, and a finished shelf — that double as portfolio pieces. Every lesson uses named tool models, real dimensions, and species-specific advice rather than generic instructions.
