  *(After your order is complete, you will be emailed an invitation to begin viewing the course. This typically takes a few minutes. Thanks for understanding.)   BUILDING TABLES WITH HAND TOOLS View sneak peeks from the video here. Following our first “Foundations” course, this second installment in our Apprenticeship series introduces pre-industrial table construction. With this build, Joshua Klein, editor of Mortise & Tenon Magazine, demonstrates the skills and conveys the mindset to approach any table build without elaborate plans or expensive (and dangerous) machines. Because most period tables share the same guts, Klein teaches the way you’d learn in a real apprenticeship setting—you learn the table’s form. Rather than drawing plans for every single commission, period artisans typically approached each piece the same. To them, a table was a table—all the rest is decoration. The table built in this course has almost all the variations you will encounter in your own build. Becau
