About

This class is designed for students who know the basics of using tools but want to further those skills under the guidance of an experienced instructor.

We will cover:

  • Developing a design, with limited variations of the basic table plan so your table is the height and size you want
  • Creating a cut list
  • Fabricating parts
  • Assembling and gluing

Project

Build a hardwood table about 26 inches high with a 16-by-16-inch top and a base about 14 inches by 14 inches. Suitable as a lamp stand or night stand.

Materials

A $60 materials fee included in the cost of the class covers all wood and shop supplies needed to build your table. Depending on wood prices, the table might be maple, cherry, poplar, or another hardwood.

The fee does not include finish, which you will need to supply and apply after you take your table home.

Prerequisites

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • You must wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry. We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.
