About our classes:

Your Education Committee is excited to offer club members some new opportunities to sharpen your woodworking skills. We are offering 4 classes this fall by Phil Huber, Editor of Woodsmith Magazine. Classes are open to members of the Des Moines Woodworkers. If you are not already a member, now is a good time to join! See our sign-up page to join the Association.

Classes are for beginner woodworkers and cover a range of topics. Winter 2019 classes will cost $25 and will consist of 2 sessions, with the exception of the Sharpening Classes which are 1 session for $15. You can sign up for as many classes as you want, or sign up for all 4 classes for a discounted price of $80 (you will choose one of the two sharpening classes).

To sign up, simply go online to our Online Payment form to register and pay. Be sure to state the reason code with the name of the class you are signing up for. Hurry, since the classes are starting soon and spots are limited.
