Welcome to JoineryFest 2009! Participants get hands-on experience in making a full range of essential woodworking joints with power tools and hand tools. The variety of joints Pete covers includes mortise-and-tenons, dowels, biscuits, inserted tenons, box joints, dovetails, sliding dovetails, miter joints, tongue-and-grooves, and splines, among others. Students practice joinery with routers, table saws, chisels, hand saws, Dominos, biscuit joiners, slot mortisers, and hollow-chisel mortisers.

Participants leave with confidence in their ability to wed two sticks together so that they stay married. Tuition: $650
