Getting Started in Woodworking with Michael Fortune
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- This course is an introduction to furniture making with an emphasis on the use of hand tools and simple easy to use machines like the 14” bandsaw and portable planer. You will learn how to sharpen and maintain chisels, planes, and card scrapers as well as set up the bandsaw and planer. Selecting and milling lumber in preparation for cutting joints by hand and machines will be covered. Students will construct a small table using air-dried wood with four different joints and be encouraged to design their own table legs, which will be shaped in a unique way. There will be lectures on the nature of wood, shop drawing, selecting adhesives and finishes, buying a basic set of tools, setting up a small workshop, and making key jigs. This is the woodworking course most people wish they would have taken when they first started woodworking.
