Waterbury Pembroke Table Class
Instructor: Alan Turner
6:30 - 9:30 p.m. (evenings)
Maximum Class Size: Approximately 12
While browsing through an old issue of Fine Woodworking magazine, Alan and Mario came across this delightful table and were instantly attracted to its clean and delicate lines, fine proportion, and playful character. We think it hails from the Connecticut Valley based upon its clean and elegant lines and superb craftsmanship, reminiscent of the late 18th Century work of Eliphalet Chapin, from East Windsor, Ct.
This table is of a compact size, measuring just 35”x17” when closed, but it opens to a generous 35”x38” with both leaves extended. This table is both practical as well as handsome.
Although this table employs traditional mortise and tenon joinery, the design features two hinged knuckle-joint leaf supports that swing out to carry the leaves. When open, the main section of the top and the leaves are perfectly registered by traditional rule joints. When closed, the spurs of the top lay perfectly on the tapered legs.
This is a project that will develop the necessary skills to produce precise joinery; both machine and hand executed. The knuckle joint, the rule joint, complex shaping; all of these are skills learned in this exciting project course designed for the intermediate woodworker.
Course fee (including materials and hardware) - $850
