FTW3_G25 Fundamentals of Traditional Woodworking III

$1,198.00

Make a stunning table while you learn serious skills.

Fundamentals III is for advanced beginners and woodworkers who wish to move into furniture-making and refine their overall craftsmanship.

We will develop hand-tool skills including sharpening and shaping, more advanced power tool use, and will introduce additional techniques to help you build efficiency and accuracy in the shop.

At the core of the class, we will practice various joinery and construction techniques to build an heirloom quality solid wood Shaker-inspired table with a dovetailed drawer, tapered legs, and mortise-and-tenoned aprons.

The finish will be a hand applied oil finish, with time to apply at least one coat during class.

NOTE: Students who complete all three Fundamentals of Traditional Woodworking classes receive a certificate of accomplishment.

Schedule: Six weeks of evening classes from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday for a total of 54 instruction hours, with additional shop time available as needed to work on the exercises.

Meet your Instructor

David Fleming learned basic carpentry as a matter of necessity while living for many years remote northwest Alaska for many years. In the 1980’s, he discovered the work of woodworking icon James Krenov, and spent two years studying with Krenov at the renowned Fine Woodworking program at California’s College of the Redwoods. David relocated to Scottsdale, AZ in 1993 and has made furniture there ever since. An expert in hand tool use, he has taught Krenov-inspired woodworking techniques to small classes and groups since 2009. Visit www.dfcabinetmaker.com
