One half day – typically a weekend – 8:00 am to 12 noon.
Focus and Benefit: Only a single participant (maximizes instructor focus and student learning). You are not in a large class – the focus is on you and your educational needs!
Example: Picture illustrates what one student built in a half-day with modest setup.
Typical Contents (Specific items can be chosen to focus on):
· Safe use of power tools: table saw, drill press, planer, and band saw.
· Students may select a project from my textbook (or a project of their own) and are led through all the steps involved in turning lumber into a finished project.
· Alternatively, students can choose a particular skill they wish to focus on from the list below:
o Project planning and cutlists
o Lumber selection
o Milling and making boards 4 square
o Joinery (dovetails, lap joints, box joints, miters joints, scarf joints, floating tenons, cabinet joinery, tabletop to leg joinery, etc.)
o Creating decorative woodwork
o Assembly and glue-up
o Sanding and finishing
· Additional topics can be chosen:
o Sharpening and tuning planes and chisels
o Making jigs, fixtures, and templates
o Understanding wood shrinkage and expansion
o Use of various measuring and marking tools
o Tool selections for beginning woodworkers
o Shop layout – alternatives and recommendations
