This class is a survey of common hardware & tools needed to attach things to stuff.  That’s a wildly broad subject, so we will be focusing on materials most commonly found in the home: wood, metal, & masonry (brick, concrete, drywall, etc.)  We will cover screws, nails, anchors, drill/drivers, impact drivers, hammer drills, and different types of drill bits.

You will learn how the structures of wood, metal, and masonry dictate which hardware & tool you should use.  You’ll learn how to tell the difference between different types of screws and drill bits.  We will also discuss the use and limits of some common fastener tools: drill/drivers, impact drivers, and hammer drills!

ATTACHING THINGS TO STUFF is designed for all skill levels, from folks that have never held a drill to professional woodworkers/craftspeople.  Nobody is born knowing this stuff, and there is always more to discover!  Join us to learn about materials and fasteners in an enthusiastic and welcoming environment.

All you need is a computer and a good internet connection!
