Description

The unsung hero of the weekend warrior, the sawhorse has a variety of uses. Armed with two, the beginner woodworker can have a base for their first woodworking bench. Join us to learn how to build a pair of sturdy, custom sawhorses to suit your needs, and make them weather resistant for years of service. 

Although this is a beginner class, we recommend that you take our Foundations of Woodworking: Machine Tools & Shop Safety class first to get comfortable using power tools, or have a few hours of equivalent shop experience.
