Basic Carpentry Course: August Session

Learn the essential tools, terms, and techniques of carpentry while building a small structure such as a shed or playhouse. In this supportive, hands-on course, you’ll safely use a range of hand and power tools and explore the basics of house framing, layout, and the “anatomy” of a building—from floor systems to rafters. Whether you’re preparing to build your own home or just starting out, you’ll gain practical skills and the confidence to keep building.
