About This Course This is a complete introductory course in carpentry. It is not intended for the home handyman, but rather for prospective professionals who are considering carpentry as a profession or looking forward to completing their apprenticeship. This is a great way to get a look at the work of modern carpentry without having to make any commitments. The content of this course is modified from a training manual provided by the U.S. Army. Occasional references to military situations and building specifications do not detract from the relevance of the lesson to civilian builders. |
