Total Beginner Series of Woodworking Workshops III

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

PFW offers a project-based curriculum, where we concentrate on the presentation of material relevant to the construction of a particular piece. Of course, 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 III- Wall Cabinet

Students in this 6-week workshop learn about frame-and-panel construction, solid wood carcase construction, re-sawing techniques, advanced power tool joinery, drawer-making, installing knife hinges, and fitting a drawer and door.

The completion of this beautiful wall cabinet marks the culmination of an individual's initial training in the art and craft of furniture making.

Course fee (including materials fee) $500
