Using resins and epoxies can help create beautiful projects, but which resin or epoxy is right for the job? Do I use a urethane resin or do I use an epoxy? (Wait, there’s a difference?!) How deep can I pour my resin or epoxy? What happens if I don’t mix using the correct ratio of resin/epoxy to hardener? How much do I pour? These are all questions (and then some) that will be answered during this class. In this two day class, we will be using the Jess Crow HDPE Reusable Forms to create a hybrid wood and epoxy cutting (or charcuterie) board.
Day one will consist of a discussion about resin or epoxy and by the end of day one, students will pour TotalBoat ThickSet epoxy into an HDPE form that will become their own creation that they take home after day two.
On day two (one week later), students will work with their demolded creations to flatten them and turn them into beautiful cutting boards or charcuterie boards that they will finish (during the class) and take home.

Scrollsaw / Bandsaw Box Class
with Jeff Campbell
Saturday, February 22, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the foundational skills of box making by starting with a scrollsaw project and progressing to a bandsaw box. We’ll begin by crafting a smaller box with a drawer using the scrollsaw. You will learn how to:
- Shape the basic outline of the box
- Cut off the back of the box
- Cut out the drawer
- Cut off the front and back of the drawer
- Hollow out the drawer
- Assemble the entire box with the drawer
Once you’ve mastered these techniques on the scrollsaw, you’ll apply the same process on the bandsaw to create a larger box. By the end of the class, you’ll have two completed projects and a solid understanding of both scrollsaw and bandsaw box-making techniques.

Spindle Turning - Beyond The Basics
with Dave Sanborn
Sunday, April 13, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM
The second in a series taught by Dave Sanborn designed for the new or prospective turner. In the first class, we touched on the high points of both Spindle and Bowl (Face Plate) turning and used carbide tools to make a mallet. Today we will introduce you to Traditional/Conventional tools. We will begin the day discussing the basic fundamentals of Spindle Turning. Several mounting techniques; between centers, four jaw chucks, jam chucks, etc., will be discussed and demonstrated. Next we will learn how to sharpen the conventional spindle tools. We will move on to learning how to turn basic coves and beads and do exercises to gain confidence with a spindle gouge. Nothing brings pride to a woodworker more than making things to display in their own home, so we will spend the afternoon using the skills we learned in the morning to make a Bud Vase that you will be proud to have in your home. A 10% discount will be granted to each student on most lathe and hand tools and accessories purchased the day of the class.

Scrollsaw / Bandsaw Box Class
with Jeff Campbell
Saturday, April 19, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the foundational skills of box making by starting with a scrollsaw project and progressing to a bandsaw box. We’ll begin by crafting a smaller box with a drawer using the scrollsaw. You will learn how to:
- Shape the basic outline of the box
- Cut off the back of the box
- Cut out the drawer
- Cut off the front and back of the drawer
- Hollow out the drawer
- Assemble the entire box with the drawer
Once you’ve mastered these techniques on the scrollsaw, you’ll apply the same process on the bandsaw to create a larger box. By the end of the class, you’ll have two completed projects and a solid understanding of both scrollsaw and bandsaw box-making techniques.

Intermediate Hand Cut Joinery: Dovetails
with Arden Halbrooks
Monday, April 21, 5 PM - 9 PM
If you’re interested in hand tools and hand cut joinery, this series is for you! Take one or all, at your own pace and in your own order.
The most popular and strongest of the hand cut joints, the dovetail is considered by many to be the ultimate show of precision, strength, and artistry. In this class we will be focusing on the origins of the dovetail, when it was used on a daily basis because of its strength instead of its appearance. In one night you will learn layout, precise measurements, cut matching pins and tails, and at the end of the day have a functional dovetail joint cut by hand.

Intermediate Hand Cut Joinery: Scarf Joints
with Arden Halbrooks
Tuesday, April 22, 5 PM - 9 PM
If you’re interested in hand tools and hand cut joinery, this series is for you! Take one or all, at your own pace and in your own order.
The scarf joint is a joint used to connect shorter pieces of lumber into one longer piece. This joint has fallen out of favor with the advent of nails and screws, but is an important joint to know if you would like to explore Japanese wood joinery, which uses no nails or screws. We will also discuss the many iterations of this joint and students will have the option to create one of the more challenging and decorative options as well.
