About This Class
You will learn how to make one of the most useful items in the kitchen: a cutting board. I will show you how to make the design and all the carpentry that is needed. Â
The project is geared towards the beginner, and it's doable even if your space is limited. You will need some easy-to-find materials and basic tools. When the class is done, you will end up with a cutting board and the skills required for your next woodworking project.
If you have some woodworking experience, you may go straight to class. Still, if you are an absolute beginner, I advise you to first take the Micro Workshop class. With that done, you have the basic skills and set up to do this class.Â
