This
class is designed to enhance the students wood working skills.
Less time is spent on lecture and theory and more time is devoted to
hands-on applications. The two
projects in this class are very challenging.
The tool box is a very involved project where students may spend up to 16
hours milling and assembling the tool box in class.
It involves a series of rabbets, dados, and ploughs.
The students learn accuracy, and pride in quality along the way.
The step-stool is a difficult project.
The entire project is cut at a certain angle.
All the pieces are either tapered, beveled, mitered, dadoed, ploughed, or
rabbeted at this angle. One mistake
on this one, and it’s back to the old drawing board.
Machine set-up, safety, print reading, and full scale drawings are all
integral parts of this class.
