About This Course:

Are you fascinated by the tactile charm of woodworking? Do you have a nascent passion for carpentry that you're eager to explore? Perhaps you've already taken your first steps in your workshop but feel uncertain about how to proceed. Or maybe you aspire to become a professional craftsman. Whatever your reason, this BASIC carpentry and joinery course is tailored for you!

In all my construction courses, I provide a detailed technical drawing of the furniture and an explanation of the wood you need, along with guidance on how to order the wood and fittings in PDF format – a resource you can use time and again in your workshop.

My mission is clear: to guide you through the essential steps of developing your project, integrating both the theoretical and practical aspects of carpentry.

• Basic Tools: Discover which tools are essential for your craft and learn how to buy them, sharpen them, and use them effectively. I'll cover their handling and maintenance to ensure you start on the right foot.

• Workshop Setup: If you're interested in setting up a workshop, I'll provide a comprehensive list of basic tools and another detailed list for those aiming to establish a professional workspace.

• Carpentry Machines: Get familiar with the various machines available on the market for your future endeavors.

• Selecting Wood: Learn about the types of wood you need to purchase for different projects.

Hands-On Exercises:

1. Sharpening Tools: Master the art of sharpening different tools such as chisels, gouges, carpenter's planes, and cabinetmaker's blades – both manually and with mechanical tools.

2. Carpenter's-Cabinetmaker Plane: Understand the versatility of this indispensable tool and how to use it to achieve a perfectly squared piece of wood.

3. Basic Woodworking Exercise: Learn to trace with a tracing gauge, work with saws, chisels, and finish with sanding – all while following a technical drawing provided for download. This exercise will teach you to read a carpenter's or cabinetmaker’s plan.

Additional Resources:

This course is just the beginning. There's a wealth of content waiting for you, including how to make a box with dovetails, a frame with a bridle joint, your very own carpenter's bench, and even marquetry. With a range of courses planned, you can learn at your own pace and specialize in the areas that interest you most.

Carpentry is not just a trade; it's an art form that takes a lifetime to master. After this introduction, I recommend continuing with my other carpentry, joinery, and restoration courses to fully delve into the subject. Embrace this craft and let your creativity take shape in wood! 🌳
