Furniture Making & Woodworking
For years, I was curious about woodworking and had a feeling I would enjoy crafting with my hands. This semester, I finally got the chance to explore it through this course! Designed to prepare students for entry-level work or enhance existing skills, the class covered a wide range of topics: safety procedures, furniture design, hand and machine tools, materials identification and applications, fabrication processes, and project planning. I’m amazed by everything I was able to create in just one semester!
