It is said the most valuable skill a good woodworker can learn is sharpening. Sharp tools make woodworking more enjoyable using hand tools with less effort, cleaner cuts, better tool control and greater safety. This lecture and demonstration class includes hands-on practices to help you learn and understand this valuable skill. Methods covered are wet & dry grinding machines (such as Tormek), and sharpening by hand with diamond plates, oil & water stones, and honing. Emphasis is on hand plane blades and chisels though techniques for other hand tools will be presented. Feel free to bring your own plane blade or chisel and stones to learn with.
This is our most popular woodworking class and for good reason, besides covering all the basic skills necessary to successfully build a finely designed cabinet, students are often surprised to discover how much emphasis is placed on accuracy and the knowledge presented which specifically addresses the construction techniques involved when utilizing "natural wood" in cabinet making. Wood movement, milling and planning will be discussed together with the use of various milling tools. Man made products, advantages and disadvantages of their use, are discussed in a review of the anatomy of a commercial cabinet. Hardware options are also considered. Each student will construct a wall cabinet with a flat panel, inset door and a drawer using dado and rabbet joints. This is a two-day course and it fills quickly!
The purpose of this class will teach you how to construct a quality writing instrument using basic spindle turning skills. Learn all the components used such as pen blanks, mandrels, pen mills and the pen press while you make a handmade wooden pen on the lathe. The instructor will select the kit & materials used in the class. Pen turning is easy and enjoyable, and you end up with a great writing instrument that was made by you.
