Deadline to sign up: November 5, 2015

Join expert George Wurtzel at our first workshop for both beginners and experienced woodworkers. This class will touch on wood turning, hand tool work and an introduction to power tools. We’ll learn how to measure accurately without sight, using click rules, gauge blocks, Vernier calipers and talking tape measures. We’ll talk about wood types and construction techniques. We will learn when to glue, when to nail and when to use screws. We’ll also touch on finishing techniques.

Who: Adults 21 and older who wish to learn about woodworking
Where: Enchanted Hills Camp
When: Thursday, November 12 through Sunday, November 15, 2015
Cost: $300.00 plus $40.00 for transportation

To sign up for this special workshop, contact Camp Director Tony Fletcher at tfletcher@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7319 for an application or with any questions.

Please contact George in advance if you have something in particular you would like him to cover. We also encourage attendees to bring their ideas for a project in wood to the first class and think outside the box for some outrageous sculpture project. George can be reached at gwurtzel@lighthouse-sf.org. Future classes include leather working, ceramics (both slip style and wheel thrown) and sculpture using a variety of materials – wood, ceramics, metal, rock, Hydra stone and anything at hand.
