This class will cover basic and advanced cabinet joinery options. Students will learn most types of joinery and assembly methods for cabinet construction. Each will have a hands-on walkthrough on all of the methods that are described. Starting with butt joints, using mechanical fasteners, and work through rabbets, pocket screws, dowels, the Festool Domino, and ending with dovetails.
In this class Claire will teach you how to use artist resins in your everyday woodworking projects turning your ordinary piece of wood into a work of art. You will use the Total Boat Makerpoxy Artist's resin. Students will practice mixing and pouring the epoxy on plywood first. The last epoxy pour will be on a piece of wood prepped for them. Students will be able to pick up their projects the next day. You can either make it a charcuterie board or even just a piece of artwork to hang up in your home and you do not have to be an artist! This class allows you to create and leave with a technique that you can add to just about any woodworking project! Please do not wear flip flops, loose clothing or clothing that you wouldn't want damaged in case of possible drips from the epoxy. :)
