A two day exploration of stool making, this class delves into the principles of attaching legs to a seat with wedged through tenons. This same technique can be applied to a variety of forms, such as chairs, benches, and stands of all shapes and sizes. A mix of hand and power tools will be used for this class, with a bit of comparison between the two.
The first day will focus on planning, stock preparation, and cutting and shaping the legs and seats. On the second day we will ream holes and shape tenons and glue up the stools. Tools used: Tapered reamer and tenon cutter, draw knife, spoke shave, hand plane, drill press, table saw, bandsaw, router.
