Description:
Mortise and tenon joints are available in different variants depending on the use, the aesthetics and/or the constraints of the manufacturing project. This course will cover the usefulness of this assembly and the terminology, as well as the methods of execution, by making several joints by hand. We will approach the different keys necessary to the manufacture of a solid assembly of high quality.
Planning:
• Study of the different assembly variants and their application.
• Tracing methods and execution of assemblies.
• Handcrafting of diverse type of mortise and tenon joints
• Fabrication of a solid wood work object.

Description:
Dovetail and box joint are among the most modern traditional joints. This type of joints originates from the need to make the joint self-locking, to join thin layers of wood, and in the search for mechanical strength. Through this course, you will discover and make these different types of joints by building a small box. At the end of this course, you will have the keys in hand to progress independently on the manufacture of these assemblies in more complex projects.
Planning:
• Manufacture of a box joint by hand
• Manufacture of a dovetail of carpenter and cabinet-maker by hand
• Manufacture of a half-blind dovetail joint by hand
• Tracing and distribution of the tails in the traditional way
• Manufacture of assemblies with hand tools only

Training methodology:
Interactive teaching: Interactive teaching allows teaching by actively involving trainees in the learning processes through regular instructor/learner and learner/learner interactions. This method focuses on the understanding and meaning of the course content as opposed to merely memorizing them by rote. Learners are constantly encouraged to be active participants.
Experiential learning: Experiential learning is a learning approach through experience, which directly places learners in situations that reflect reality. This approach is based on the learning process rather than on the results (concrete experimentation, reflective observation). The instructor adapts to the learner’s level. The learner will make the group progress by being actively involved in the training and by sharing experiences. This training approach aims to promote the development of learners’ autonomy.
Project-based training: The learner produces his own work project at his own pace, independently. The instructor is present to accompany the learner when he/she encounters difficulties and provides support, advice or suggestions for experimentation to move forward in the project. The goal is to equip the learner with methods, techniques and knowledge so that he/she can accurately analyze and evaluate the production process of his/her project and solve problems with flexibility.
The registration to our training courses implies the total adhesion to our rules.
