Learn the fundamentals of woodworking while creating your very own wooden tool tote!

Instructors will guide you step-by-step through proper setup, safe operation, and key techniques, giving you the confidence to use these tools independently.

By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a sturdy, handmade tool tote that’s as functional as it is classic—perfect for carrying your tools, art supplies, or other gear. This class is designed for teens and beginners who want to build both skills and confidence in the woodshop.
