Well, I said I was shut down for a while, but I might open the doors for students for one class this year. It will probably need to be the every other weekend format with homework as we've done in the past. I have a few projects that I need to get done, but may be able to sqeeze in a class...
So tomorrow I'm headed to Klingspor for their bowl turning class. Told the wife I'll probably come away with some bowl turning tools. :gar-Bi
I've been learning to sharpen my chisels and practicing a little on spindle turning. So I'm really looking forward to this class.
I started my Basic Woodworking Class at Klingspor's last night. We didn't actually do anything the first day, so no pics... sorry y'all. I'm sure with 3 weeks left, I'll get some. Over the course of 3 weeks we'll build a shaker table with a drawer and subsequently learn about most of the...
Spent all day at Klingspor (sp?) learning to turn. Let me tell you, I have a lot more to learn. But I loved it, I suck at it, but I loved it. Time to shop for a lathe.
Today, four students I've been working with finished making their cherry side tables and since the Raleigh Woodcraft will be closing August 17, it will be my last class for the foreseeable future. :cry: I'm going to miss working at Woodcraft and teaching there. It has been a real joy to see how...

Folks,
Attended John's chairmaking class this weekend. I highly recommend it without any reservations! John is a very good teacher and an even better chairmaker. Having never made a chair and having only experience in semi-commercial cabinetry, this class was great! After this first...
Because I have come to the conclusion that I suck at making drawers :BangHead: maybe someone could suggest a good book? all the differnt slides out there make me feel like I'm :drunken_s trying to decide what's the right one to use for which drawer. I forced myself to go intro Lowes last night...

Seven eager woodworkers took advantage of another of John Richard's (Woodguy1975) great classes as we descended on his shop in Hickory for an all day class on finishing. John had a thorough outline and covered the topic very well, demonstrating the proper choices for preparing the wood surfaces...
