Spring workshops in Raleigh

[Phil S]

January is already booked with a dovetail and scrollsaw workshop. I have February, March and April open for workshops.

Now I just need to determine what the group would like to learn. Almost any subject is possible - I can only teach a few subjects, but I can find the right instructors and there is a good chance I have the tools.

So now what does the group want to learn.

Reply with your ideas and I will pull it all together (lunch menu ideas are also appreciated, I do like to cook)

Here are a few possibles, some might need to be combined with others for a full day:

Prep for finish without sanding

Spray finishing

Basics of stripper canoe building

Japanese joinery

Cabriole legs

Water-borne finishing

Lets see your ideas

Happy Thanksgiving

Prep for finish without sanding


Thanks for volunteering to host.

Finishing is always great. Also I would love to see more workshops like the flag box one where we actually made a project vs learning just one technique.

We are trying to get a Sketchup class going early next year. Does that interest anyone?...It will be a one day hands on class

Maybe something with mortise and tenon? Shelf pine put to work on a small cabinet that includes M/T, dovetail, rabbet, and basic joinery steps.

Will it be a "live" class or web based?

 

[golfdad]

Live with your own computer I think
