Workshop Description

This class is about learning to reproduce a small table form using shop-made jigs but in a manner that allows for almost unlimited opportunities to customize it. Students can choose to make identical parts with the jigs provided or change elements of the design to their own liking. No complex machines or processes are required-just a small bandsaw, a router table, a small drill press, and a biscuit joiner. Jig design and construction will be covered, which can then be applied in many variations. Making pattern jigs and holding parts in a safe and secure manner will be an important part of this class. Students will have an opportunity to refine their woodworking expertise, particularly with the bandsaw, biscuit or Domino joiner, and router skills. Students should bring their own wood that will best showcase this simple yet elegant style of table.
