Since John was busy today teaching and demonstrating techniques, I took some pictures and offered to post this initial report on this class. Five students -- 3 North Carolina Woodworker regulars and two woodworkers who heard about the class through John's website -- are taking this class. North Carolina Woodworker members include LBMallett (Larry), MLB3164 (Marty Baucom) and me. Dave Eckerd and Andy Rhoney are woodworkers from the Hickory area (John has said he'll get them on board the site, too!).
Here are some thumbnail pics of Day One's efforts (click on them for full-sized images) -- we started with basic shop safety and cabinet construction basics -- then on to making processing stock for face frames and by afternoon, cutting and doing the joinery on the plywood cabinet carcases. By the end of the day, we had a complete wall cabinet all glued up, less the raised panel door which will be covered in Day Two.

1) John demos face frame assembly to Mark and Andy
2) Larry drills face frames with a Kreg Jig
3) John demos glue-up to Dave, Mark and Andy
4) as Larry looks on
5) John demos drilling shelf pin holes in cabinet sides for Dave
6) and Dave completes the job.
More tomorrow as we'll show cabinet glue-ups, coping the rails and stiles and raising door panels.
