I recently finished the Basic Carpentry Course at Wild Abundance and was blown away. I’m not sure exactly what I had expected, but my expectations were exceeded.

We were trained how to use all the tools safely and were coached as we tried. In the course we were taught exactly how to measure, mark, and cut with the appropriate tool.

I was surprised by the age spread of the participants. We had students from 14 to 70, and I enjoyed all the camaraderie. Everyone was willing to help others, so each person’s skill level just added to the learning process. The days were intense, but each person could work at her own pace.

The instructors were very hands-on and patient. Some students arrived concerned that they didn’t know as much as others, but no one left feeling intimidated. The students and teachers alike were encouraging and kind, and everyone finished the course feeling more confident and skilled. Overall, it was a great experience, and I recommend this course to anyone who wants to be more capable of handling projects and skilled at preparing for and executing them.
