Just took Hand Saw Essentials as my very first woodworking course, and I'm signed up for the rest of the Weekend Hand Tool Series. This a great way to find out if woodworking is your \thing.\ I'd take the week-long Hand Tool Series but I missed it this year. Instructors Steve & Raphael were great. Abel is one of the lead instructors for longer classes. I recently observed part of his Timber Framing class. He's extremely knowledgeable on many, many topics and is a very patient instructor.

Excellent school. Well run and my instructor, Jerrod Dahl, was top notch! I took the 5 day Greenwood Carving class. What a great place to camp as well. Tap water is highly chlorinated though. Ugh. But don't let that stop you from coming! I appreciated the quick yoga class at lunch to work out the kinks from 7 hour class.

In my perfect world, this would be where I would study traditional woodworking techniques, furniture building, and related skills. These people have built some of the most beautiful things that I have ever seen. And I know many of the staff and alumni personally. This is a very uniquely happy, seriously committed and creative community of woodworking devotees. Extra points for being in a beautiful setting.

I have taken the week-long \Hand Tool Heaven\ class and various other weekend classes at the Port Townsend School of Woodworking, including: a furniture design course, a cabinet joinery course, and a Northwest Coast carving toolmaking class. All of the courses have been excessively enjoyable, very informative, and I left a better maker each time. The instructors who taught these classes, which included the school's founders and other talented and accomplished craftspeople, have provided excellent classroom and individualized instruction as well as real, useful content without time-filling fluff. I will be back for a course as soon as I possibly can be.

I recently took the Woodworking for Women - fantastic class. I have limited experience in woodworking, some self-taught and some instruction from husband/uncles. This class taught me new things and better ways for skills I already had. The instructors were wonderful and the week was packed with great instruction and practice on scrap wood and making a serving tray. I recommend it or any other class at the school highly.
