Acoustic Guitar From Scratch

Part 1: Monday, October 28, 9 AM - 5 PM

Part 2: Tuesday, October 29, 9 AM - 5 PM

Part 5: Friday, November 1, 9 AM - 5 PM

Part 6: Saturday, November 2, 9 AM - 5 PM

Part 7: Sunday, November 3, 9 AM - 5 PM

We are excited to announce we have made the decision on expanding our class schedule to include a BUILD FROM SCRATCH ACOUSTIC GUITAR CLASS under the tutelage of our Master Luthier, Passang Bhote, pictured above. This is not a kit guitar! Over the next few weeks he will be making a display guitar, that can also be played, with a see thru back so you can view what goes into making one. A Dreadnought Guitar with a bolt on neck will be the type of guitar made during the class and no, that is not an acoustic guitar in the picture! Classes around us, to do this type of instruction, typically range from $3,950 all the way to $7,500 plus the cost of wood. While this is a class to make a guitar, it shouldn't be construed as a Luthier learning type of class and as such, the cost will be lower. However, this is NOT a beginning woodworker type of class so please have some experience with hand and power tools and you are going to do the work to build your guitar. The finish will need to be applied at home. You will be building a guitar from wood species you choose, with Passang's help and advice. The wood cost will be extra and based upon what you choose, as some woods are more expensive than others. You will work with Passang to decide those wood species prior to the class. The class will run 9 AM to 5 PM each day for seven (7) days. The cost to take the class for will be $2,500 plus the cost of the wood you choose. We hope this class in the future will run every three months.  It is limited to two students! Stop in and talk to Passang Bhote who is usually here most weekdays and ask any questions you may have. A deposit of $1,250 will be required at the sign-up for the class. Remember, you really need to be, at a minimum, an intermediate woodworker with both hand and power tool experience. The class is not in the system yet, but hopefully by Monday to allow your sign-up.  Anyone who has taken a class from Passang will echo my praise for him as an instructor.

Saturday, November 23, 6 PM - 8 PM

Woodcraft of Columbus invites woodworkers to expand their bandsaw skills with an exciting new class from nationally recognized expert Alex Snodgrass, who returns to Woodcraft stores nationwide in 2024. The highly popular Bandsaw Method Tour embarks on its second year on January 5 and 6 in Clearwater, FL and finishes at Woodcraft of Columbus, Nov 23rd and 24th. “In mid-2022, Woodcraft started discussing ways to provide our customers with an education-based experience on bandsaws and bandsaw projects, and when it comes to bandsaw optimization and design, there is only one person who came to mind – Alex Snodgrass,” said Andrew Bondi, Woodcraft Vice President of Retail and Franchise Operations. “With help from our partners at JET-Powermatic, Woodcraft was able to broker a nationwide tour featuring Alex. Throughout 2023, Alex has been delighting our customers from coast to coast, and we couldn’t be happier to have him on board for another tour in 2024. Alex is a fantastic teacher – he really shows off how the bandsaw is a versatile tool that can create dazzling projects.” In 2023, Snodgrass visited 72 Woodcraft stores to teach his unique 3D end-grain cutting board and present seminars on keeping a bandsaw running at optimum performance level. The 2024 class focuses on a stair-step patterned cutting board, along with Art of Bandsaw Boxes seminars the night before. Sign up for the Columbus Woodcraft Seminar and the cutting board class are available now by calling 614-273-0488. The night before the cutting board class during this seminar, Alex will show you how to set up your bandsaw correctly and demonstrate how he makes some really cool Boxes using the bandsaw and, I am sure, we will get a few Reindeer cut in less than a minute! Students will get hands-on instruction during the cutting board class from Snodgrass, who has demonstrated at woodworking shows for many years. He has also taught numerous woodworking classes at Woodcraft stores and the Marc Adams School of Woodworking, among others. Snodgrass was born and raised in Miami, later lived in Georgia, and has lived in Virginia for the past seven years. After spending time in the Navy, he lived in Hawaii, where he had a job delivering items for a woodworking store. It was there that he found his passion for tools. The store owners also found out that he was excellent at presenting and selling tools. This generated longstanding relationships with both Carter Products (since 1994) and JET/Powermatic (since 1999). Snodgrass became adept at the bandsaw, and began to find better ways to maximize its performance. He holds several patents, including the bandsaw stabilizer, quick release, electronic tension gauge and others. He also has several inventions that have not been patented. To learn more about Snodgrass and everything about Bandsaws, visit Bandsaw Life on YouTube.
