Get hands on experience in a small class setting during this introductory carpentry course. Throughout the workshop we will focus on the basics, including safety measures, common terminology, fundamental concepts, and lots of practice with power saws and tools. Participants will put their skills to work building a small project.

By the end of this course you will feel confident:
**Using various power saws and making clean, accurate cuts on the chop and circular saws.
**Using power drills and impact drivers, a variety of squares and hand tools with ease.
**Using professional vocabulary and industry jargon.
**Planning for your next project.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
That's me :) My name is Sandy Nurse. I've taught over 50 carpentry workshops and classes for organizations over the last 6 years. I was trained by incredibly talented trade union instructors, by Master Carpenters at a design-build firm, and from many colleagues who have taught me a thing or two over the years. I've been the carpentry instructor for the NYC Farm School program for the last five years and I've been fortunate enough to build my own cabin (with help from friends, of course). I also was a co-instructor at the Soul Fire Farm's Builder's Immersion program.
