Courses

This course is a continuation of Carpentry I, offering students an opportunity to delve deeper into the world of carpentry. This advanced course explores the installation of windows and doors, and the intricacies of interior and exterior finishes. This course will cover the N.C. Residential Code, providing students with an overview of code and how to navigate the code book. Students will engage in hands-on construction of building components by working collaboratively on a class carpentry project. Throughout the course, students will be instructed on proper clothing, safety practices, tool use and maintenance. This class is a combination of lecture and hands-on instruction. Enrollment in Carpentry II requires students to demonstrate a minimum level of competence and safety in applied measurement, mathematics, blueprint reading, and tool and equipment usage, either through previous completion of Carpentry I at Durham Tech or another college, or by obtaining written verification of these skills from the instructor.
