MATERIALS: Selection of supplied hardwoods

The intensive 7 Plank Project class is identical to the other 7 Plank Project class other than it runs 5 consecutive days (Monday - Friday), wood is included, and there are more working hours.
Begin with 7 good pieces of hardwood and create a project. The class covers the various approaches and methods for undertaking a complex project with a variety of joints. It is ideal for students who want to move on to challenges beyond the Essentials. Students must have previous woodworking experience. The focus will be on planning, establishing the construction path, prepping material, breaking out larger lumber, and choosing the effective joints needed for the project. There will be an emphasis on using hand tools to complement the machine work. In five consecutive days, students work towards finishing a small table, or a project approved by the instructor. It is common for projects to need more time beyond the class to complete these projects, and regular shop drop-in times are available at an hourly rate.
If desiring to create a project outside of plans that we have on hand, the student will need to get the purchased plans approved by the instructor.
Get in touch if you would like suggestions for how to find project plans or where to purchase wood.
