This is an intermediate course that introduces students to a variety of hand and portable power

 tools.  Also included are project design and construction, characteristics of various hard and

 soft woods, and various other aspects of woodworking.  Shop and tool safety will be

 strongly stressed.  Students will construct a wood project of their own design that must be

 approved by the instructor.  This project must be appropriate to the student’s skill

 level and woodworking background.  Each student will be required to bring or purchase

 (from the school) a pair of safety glasses.  The students are advised to bring a tape measure

 for lab activities.  Students will be responsible for purchasing all materials for their projects.

 These can be purchased from the school at predetermined prices or at any lumber and

 hardware supplier.
