Typical Workshop

Here is a series showing a typical workshop experience:

First day with paddle blanks ready to carve.

Learning how to use the draw knife.

Hand planes can be tricky to adjust right

Sometimes even a dust mask needs to smile.

Working from late afternoon into the night the students kept coming back to finish their paddles.

The final results were fantastic: from a cedar blank to a beautiful functional paddle.

Paddling into the Paddle Together Event with their finished paddles and their photographs on the wall:
