Electric Guitar Design

with Tom Beers

Tuesday, October 28, 2025, 6 PM - 9 PM

The focus of this class is to design and draw a 1:1 scale electric guitar plan. Using a Fender Telecaster as a point of reference, we will discuss basic terminology of an electric guitar's parts as well as principles inherent to the function and structure of a guitar. Designing the instrument will include choosing wood, headstock shape, type of neck to body joint, hardware and electronics. While the shape of the electric guitar's body seems like a free-for-all, many considerations come into play. Join us and other electric guitar enthusiasts as we ponder, discuss, and put these ideas on paper.

Finishing: Discover Shellac!

with Kevin Southwick

Saturday, November 1, 2025, 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM

Used as a sanding sealer, a pre-stain conditioner, or as a glass-smooth topcoat, shellac is one of the most versatile and widely used finishing materials in the history of woodworking. It is not only one of the most beautiful, but one of the least toxic and fastest drying finishes available. Reading about it is helpful but nothing beats the hands-on experience of applying shellac using many different methods including padding and brushing techniques, French polishing and spraying. You'll learn the differences between flakes and pre-mixed, how to mix your own and how to choose which type to use. Sign up today and discover the beauty and versatility of shellac!

Chip Carving

with Bart Dunning

Sunday, November 2, 2025, 10 AM - 4 PM

Chip carving consists of a set of triangular or curved cuts laid out in regular, geometric patterns, but can also be more free form, as in lettering or images. You will need to bring a Chip Carving Knife like the Pfeil style B, or similar. Your instructor, Bart Dunning, will teach you about the handling and care of the knife. You will learn how to draw a pattern for cutting, make the various cuts and develop a “feel” for the wood, as well as what woods are preferred. Dealing with mistakes, short of adding fuel to your fireplace, is also part of the class. You will leave with some new skills, some new friends and, hopefully, a carved coaster. Note: $5 materials fee payable to the instructor at time of class.
