About the Course
Introduction to Marine Woodworking is offered once a year in April, for students to learn or improve basic marine woodworking skills.
The course is scheduled so that students who need to can prepare for SBSS's advanced course in Ships Cabinetry and Joinery, which starts in May. (The Wooden Boat Building course now includes the core material from Introduction to Marine Woodworking – it isn’t necessary to take the one-month Introduction to Marine Woodworking before Ships Cabinetry and Joinery if you have done Wooden Boat Building.)
Over the four week long course, students learn about shop safety; how to use and maintain woodworking tools, including hand tools, hand-held power tools, and shop tools; about wood materials and marine adhesives; and how to read and draw simple plans.
