About this Workshop
This nightstand packs a variety of techniques into a small project and offers great lessons in dovetailed case construction and exposed mortise-and-tenon joinery. The design incorporates subtle curves and edge profiles, tapered sides, and a cord-wrapped stretcher that bring the piece to life. A side-hung drawer offers a good lesson in making simple drawers and finishes off the nightstand. Michael will spend some time in class talking about design and how small details can have a big effect on a piece. There will also be a focus on important work strategies that can lead to more successful results in the shop without working harder, strategies that can apply to any project.
