Students begin to develop woodworking skills by working on a variety of projects,starting with rough carpentry and progressing to finished carpentry. These projects MAY include building things such as a sawhorse, steps, small Nantuckett bench, garden bench and hardwood end table.

Different classes may build different projects at the instructor's discretion. All projects are chosen with the goal of learning how to use dados, rabbets, and tongue and groove joints.
