    https://nce.reg.eleyo.com/course/1421/adult-winter-spring-2024/introduction-to-hand-tools

    This class will cover how to safely and effectively utilize three basic hand tools: a hand plane, a chisel and a router plane. Through demonstrations and exercises, we will use a hand plane to dimension, smooth and square wood for an oil stone box. We will learn to precisely layout our design with a knife and marking gauge and how to chop and pare with a chisel. Finally, we will finish our boxes with a router plane. The instructor will also address any questions you may have along the way. Project materials (such as wood) are covered by the cost of the class. Tools (planes, chisels, marking gauges and knives, and router planes) will be provided. Note: Please bring an accurate combination square and pencil.

    6 classes on Tu Thu starting March 12

    Full info available here

    The Fine Woodworking New England 2-day event in Manchester, Connecticut, will feature dozens of demonstrations by Frank Strazza, Steve Latta, Larissa Huff, Andrew Hunter, and many more.

    By Michael Pekovich Mar 06, 2024

    It has been a while since Fine Woodworking has held a live event, and we figured the best way to get back on track is with a free event hosted by Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking. The Fine Woodworking New England 2-day event in Manchester, Connecticut, will feature dozens of demonstrations by Frank Strazza, Steve Latta, Larissa Huff, Andrew Hunter, and many more. The show will also feature tool makers as well as an antique tool flea market.

    We will have live scheduled demonstrations as well as ongoing demonstrations throughout the show. We hope to live-stream the demonstrations for Unlimited members who can’t make it to the show. We’ll have some food trucks on hand during the event as well. Special thanks to our sponsors Shaper Origin, Woodpeckers, Blue Spruce, and Titebond for helping to make the event possible. Special thanks as well to Bob Van Dyke at Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking for organizing the event and putting together the roster of demonstrators.

    Come out and take in some demonstrations, say hi to your favorite authors, and hang out with fellow woodworkers. it’s a long-overdue invitation to get together and have some fun. I hope to see you there.

    The event is free, but for us to plan properly we’d appreciate it if you pre-registered for the event here.
