Description:  This introductory class will teach you about a variety of woodworking joinery, considerations when selecting/cutting/assembling the various joints, and various glues/adhesives used.  A project (Serving Tray) is then built using six different types of popular joints: a drawer lock joint, a mortise and tenon joint, a dowel joint, a box joint, a dado joint, and biscuit joinery.  You will use tools such as the mortiser, router table, handheld router, drill press, bandsaw and dado blade on a tablesaw, plus a number of jigs.  Join Jerry as he shows you how to construct each joint and learn his insights as to "how to select the appropriate joint for various woodworking projects."  Jerry's instruction and guidance will ease any hesitations you may have had about joinery and you'll leave with your own 'hands-on reminder' (i.e., the serving tray)!  This class is an excellent way to begin your woodworking journey on the right foot.
