Title
Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking
Description
Furniture making is a craft where skills are developed over time and with plenty of practice. The Fundamentals of Furniture-Making, taught by the school's director, Bob Van Dyke, reflects this and begins with Woodworking I. This class gives practical hands-on experience with all the main shop machines and hand tools in the workshop. You will develop a basic understanding of solid wood movement, construction methods, basic furniture joints, shop safety and tool sharpening. Students make a wall mounted CD shelf out of solid cherry. The project utilizes all the skills and concepts being taught in the class.
Woodworking II builds on the techniques learned in the Woodworking I class. Students build a cherry hall table during this eight-week class. Grain matching, mortise and tenon joints, surfacing the wood with a handplane and a card scraper and hand fitting joints are just a few of the many skills that are learned in this exciting and rewarding class.
The simplicity of many Shaker and Craftsman-style furniture pieces lend themselves to a number of beginning and intermediate level woodworking projects. After students have completed the Woodworking II hall table class, a number of more involved and challenging projects await them. A
