In the second part of our Woodworking Fundamentals series, students will receive hands-on practice with generating a cut-list, processing lumber, laying out and creating joinery, cutting tapered legs, assembling tables, and applying an oil finish (as time allows). Along with developing the foundational skills learned in Fundamentals I, the main focus of this class is on discussing pros and cons of several joinery methods, including pocket screws, dowels, dominos, and Mortise and Tenons. Students will be able to apply at least one of these methods to their Shaker End Table projects, and will leave with a better understanding of woodworking joinery and furniture construction techniques.
