If you are a relative newby to woodworking and you would like to make something usable in just one class, join us to make this simple outdoor wooden bench. In this three hour class we will walk you through the steps to construct a sturdy bench for your garden or yard. This workshop is designed for people new to woodworking who wish to have exposure to using both hand and power tools, including the table saw, the chop saw, a drill, a tape measure, and a sander.

Laura Andrews learned woodworking from her grandfather in his basement workshop. But it was "Woodworking for Women," taught through Keene Community Education by Gail Grycel, where Laura learned about power tools and other building skills. Laura now lives in Keene and is the University Director of Institutional Advancement at Antioch University.

Ann Acheson, in the first year of the Mill's programs, took Woodworking for Women from a great crew of instructors including Laura. She has been practicing her skill set ever since.
