Total Beginner Series of Woodworking Workshops

This is a series of 3 workshop courses designed to carefully introduce the total beginner to woodworking by presenting material around a project-based curriculum.

These three courses concentrate on woodworking skills which build upon earlier skills covered, leading to the successful completion of a bookcase (Total Beginner 1), a solid wood coffee table (Total Beginner 2) and a wall hung cabinet with door and drawer (Total Beginner 3). Important and interesting material related to woodworking in general is thoroughly covered. We feel that the planning, learning, practice, and hard work that goes into the construction of a furniture piece can be critical to developing and retaining both good habits and learning more advanced techniques.

 

Total Beginner II- Coffee Table

This 6-session workshop builds upon material presented in Total Beginner I by covering advanced operations of basic woodworking machinery, as well as the use of specialty jigs, shop fixtures and hand tools.

In this workshop, students will learn how to: mill wood, glue up solid wood panels, and execute perfect mortise-and-tenon joinery. Special class sessions will be devoted to: wood theory, gluing and clamping techniques, special fasteners, and (time permitting) finishing techniques.

Course fee (including materials fee) $575
