Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this woodworking class:

Join us for this 1-day bookcase build. Students will start their session with readily available lumber and leave with a completed bookcase. Participants will be able to finish the piece at home with stain, polyurethane or another preferred finish. Students will use common shop machinery to mill the parts of their project, then the parts will be glued up and the bookcase completed by the end pf class. 

This class is great for beginner woodworkers and also for students with some experience who would like to learn more about joinery. Students will use the table saw, miter saw, band saw, drill press and sanders. 

The bookcase will be approximately 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The top and botton shelves are fixed in place, and the middle 2 shelves are adjustable in height. Students will have the option to customize their piece by shortening the bookcase to any length under 4 feet. The fixed shelves and back will be built with dado joinery. The dado is one of the most used joinery techniques in woodworking as it is a strong and simple joint.

Materials fee to be paid directly to the school on the first day of class.

    I learned a lot in this course and really appreciated the instructor’s patience, humility, and knowledge. He was a wonderful teacher (Wayne Ford) and the shop itself was very spacious and pleasant (nice views of the creek!!). The class was limited to 4 people and that turned out to be an ideal number. Class participants were all nice too.
