Learn concepts, techniques and tools to work wood like an expert
You can start in the carpentry of a lifetime or you can also start in this course with "Maderística", and know the discipline that deals with the pleasure of working wood to make furniture with passion and identity. And who better than Patricio Ortega - architect, carpenter and co-founder of the Maderística workshop - to introduce you to the world of "author carpentry" and take your first steps in this trade by building your first wooden furniture for yourself.
In this course you will learn key concepts, techniques and tools used in professional furniture carpentry, to build a plywood pine stool without previous experience.
What's included in this course?
The first thing you will do will be to meet Patricio Ortega, who will tell you how he went from architecture to carpentry and how the Maderística workshop was born under the concept of "author carpentry". He will also tell you about his influences, some very personal and others from his initial profession, architecture.
You will know everything about the different materials you will need to work the wood. You will see the origin of the plywood board, the dimensions that it must have and you will make a cutting list that consists of ordering the pieces by size and thickness, with a series of useful tips.
Patricio will show you in detail all the tools you will use in this course, differentiating between essential and optional or complementary.
You will understand the work counter as another tool and you will learn to use a milling machine, a jigsaw and a circular saw, understanding its origin, function and importance.
You will define the general dimensions of the stool to your liking and cut the pieces that make up the furniture with the circular saw. Following the basic rules to create this piece perfectly, you will make the design of the legs and draw the template, then cut them with the jig and remove the excess.
You will learn to mark the axes on the seat piece, and you will make the cut with the manual milling machine to achieve a more precise result. Then, Patricio will teach you how to make the guide for the cross-fitting, and in a similar process, you will make the cut of the seat box and adjust the tang of the box to fit it in the seat.
Finally, Patricio will share Maderística techniques to achieve a perfect finish, adding details and repairing imperfections. You will assemble the stool and ... voila! You already have a stool made with your own hands and enough knowledge to work the wood like a professional.
What is this course project?
You will build a 3-piece stool with half-wood inserts and cross-shaped spike on the seat.
Who is it aimed at?
Anyone who wants to start off on the job, or carpentry enthusiasts who want to overcome the "intuitive" level and get more professional results.
Requirements
You do not need previous experience in carpentry to take this course because they will explain everything from scratch, from the handling of the tools to the basic techniques.
On the materials, you must have a ruler, carpenter square, combination square, jigsaw, circular saw (optional), milling machine or trimmer, sandpaper, hammer, and some other minor supplies. Anyway, if you do not have all this variety of tools, this course can serve as a very useful guide to know more in detail the role of each one, and the possibilities offered so that you can organize and acquire them later.

Buen curso, bien explicado, y soy de las personas iniciando en la carpintería, aún así muy entendible
cenarvaezm
El curso se presenta como de nivel básico, pero las técnicas enseñadas aplican para este nivel y posteriores. Depende más del proyecto que se quiera emprender, ya que lo explicado se hace valioso y replicable.
Resalto que Patricio no deja escapar oportunidad para complementar cada video con sus recomendaciones y experiencia, trascendiendo las técnicas o prácticas que se pueden observar en un video DIY de los que se encuentran gratuitamente en internet.
100% recomendado. Buena inversión.

muy bien explicado, materiales, herramientas y muy importante como considerar siempre la seguridad como primer valor, todo esto le da seriedad y credibilidad al curso, para mi que estoy comenzando en esto de la carpintería me entrego varios tips que replicare en mi proyecto, nos desafía a buscar soluciones simples para optimizar materiales y sacar el máximo provecho a las herramientas.
muy conforme con el curso 100% recomendado
próximamente subiré mis avances en el foro

Recomiendo el curso al 100%, esta muy bien diseñado, los temas super claros, la ejecución del proyecto del taburete muy limpia. Se aprecia el paso a paso y sobre todo al menos para mí, los consejos en base a la experiencia de Patricio fueron muy buenos.

Profe Patricio hace unos años atrás lo vi en un folleto de sercotec, desde ese entonces he seguido su trayectoria y he tratado de viajar a santiago para hacer el curso pero se me ha complicado coincidir con los tiempos, pero con esta plataforma es una excelente manera de aprender de este gran y noble oficio y mas aun con un capo como usted.
Saludos desde Tocopilla.
