Okay. I make end grain cutting boards. Everyone makes them. Maybe we can make them better?
I have been thinking about offering a 2 day hands-on class in the techniques of building good boards that I have come up with in the past 6 years of doing it full time. (I have made somewhere between...
Was a lot of fun. It is self-directed, which I like. I get to pick the project and learn what I want. I got to see a lathe jump when someone (not me) had a catch and a big green blank got knocked off-center. I learned on a small blank to make a glue-on tenon out of hw and not pine after I...
The only turning I did was some roughing of a bowl blank - all the students got to try and roughing the head to my walnut mallet round. OTOH, I learned I need to replace the factory wheel on my grinder with something finer and I really need to make a wolverine sharpening jig. I also got some...
Supposed to start a turning class tonight at ACC. They called and said night classes were still cancelled. Will start next week. I was looking forward to learning how to really sharpen my tools.
The Limbert style coffee table build class at The Woodworking Source this past weekend was a blast! A big thanks goes out to Greg Paolini and Rick Dinardo of The Woodworking Source for putting this event together! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap
Greg is an outstanding teacher and put all skill...
Groupon is offering a 2-month membership and 6 hours of classes at TechShop for $125. Below is the cut-and-paste from an email I received from them today. Seems like a good way to check the place out. Groupon is one of those sites that offers only one deal a day so this must be purchased...

Just thought I would share with you folks one of my lastest projects. I have started a class on refinishing furniture at the local Habitat Restore. The idea is that when someone comes in and looks at a piece of furniture in the store and it is in need of repair/refinishing if there was someone...
FYI, there is a ShopBot intro class tomorrow night that still has openings. It is designed for parent and child (age 12+), but I assume they'll let you in without a kid. $100 (including materials) for an intro class where you build a birdhouse. From what I understand, you learn enough of the...
I attended a class last week at the Lonnie Bird School of Fine Woodworking ( http://www.lonniebird.com/ ). It was the Woodworking Essentials class. The class was based on learning hand tool techniques, particularly joinery (dovetail, mortise / tenon). Lonnie even spends time explaining the...

Hi Everyone: I attended the Rob Cosman class given at the Greenville Woodcraft store yesterday and I thought I'd like to give you a few of my impressions. After I attend one of these things, I end up being a little confused because so much came at me so fast. I question my methods of work that I...
I attended Roy Underhill's class on dovetails and mortising. It was a great experince. I highly recommend it. The class is a full day 9:00 to 5:30 and you get a lot of hands on experince. Every one made through dovetails, half blind dovetails and a mortise and tenons. I never knew that working...
