SUMMARY:Exploring Traditional Wooden Boatbuilding Techniques with Brian Thorkildson
DESCRIPTION:Wooden boats are fascinating objects—get just a taste of some of the traditional techniques needed to build them in this evening-long workshop. Students will have the opportunity to get hands on with specialty tools to make a small sample cross-section of a traditional Nordic wooden boat. With hand planes\, students will cut bevels on their planks and shape a frame section. Students will also make their own tree nails—the wooden nails that held the planks to the frames—and assemble their samples with rivets and trees nails into a small cross section of traditional Nordic boat. No past woodworking experience needed; this class is perfect for anyone excited about wood\, boats\, history\, or tools to try out something new. \n  \nAdditional information:\n\nAdvanced registration required.\nMaterials: A $25 materials fee is due in class and covers all tools and materials.\n\n  \nPrerequisites:\n\nSkill level: This class welcomes all skill levels.\nPhsyical ability: Some hand strength and dexterity is helpful to complete the project.\nAges: This class welcomes students ages 16+. A discounted ticket price for ages 16-17 is available at checkout.
