Essential Tools
Learn to use the workshop's portable and hand tools safely. The foundation you need to build your own projects without relying on industrial machinery.
Your tools, under control.
This course gives you the essential training to move around the workshop with confidence and get the most out of every tool. You'll work through everything from the sander to the chisel, learning the correct technique, safe use and care of each one. By the end, building your projects will feel like second nature.
How you'll do it.
We start with the fundamentals and move on tool by tool, with real practice from the very first moment.
You'll learn to get smooth, mark-free surfaces by choosing the right abrasive for each stage of the work.
Clean holes, straight screws and firm joints without damaging the wood, with the right technique from the start.
Controlled, safe cuts with a handsaw, with the posture and rhythm that keep mistakes and fatigue at bay.
Fine-tuning joints by hand and working details with real precision, keeping full control of the tool.
Safe striking technique, tool care and correct use depending on the material and the task.
Clamps, squares, marking tools and other basics that make it possible to assemble any project with order and precision.
