About this Workshop

This class will help students discover what they can accomplish with Shaper Origin and learn how to design complex, intricate joinery in Shaper Studio. From lightning-fast mortise-and-tenon joints and variable-spaced finger joints to custom drawer pulls, Shaper Origin offers exciting possibilities for furniture making. Erik will guide students through the design and construction of a small side table using Shaper Origin. The class will begin with basic layout and operation before moving into more complex joinery techniques. Students are encouraged to bring their own Shaper Origin, although a few units may be available to share. By the end of the week, students will leave with a beautiful side table, practical experience, and the confidence to use Shaper Origin in their own shops.
