Making a Picture Frame

with Darren Burrus

Sunday, October 4, 2026, 9 AM - 5 PM

Have you ever gone to one of those expensive framing shops and been taken back by the cost of a picture frame? Here is the opportunity to learn how to make your own frames and save money. The Picture Framing class will show you the basics for measuring and making your own picture frames. You will be shown how to use woodworking joinery that can be incorporated in your framing projects which are not only functional, but decorative as well. You will use the jointer and table saw to square stock, the table saw and the electric miter saw to cut mitered corners, and the router table to create assorted decorative profiles for your frames. Students will make the components for an 8" X 10" picture frame.

Tabletop Panel Construction

with Mike Charlem

Tuesday, October 6, 2026, 6 PM - 9 PM

Most hardwood suppliers locally do not carry wood wider than 12”, unless it’s special ordered. If you plan to build a tabletop, 3 – 4 feet wide or more, in most cases it will require joining hardwood boards edge to edge to get the desired width. This class explores the methods used to edge join multiple narrow boards for a useable tabletop. You will develop the proper skills to build a tabletop panel that is straight and flat that requires minimal milling and sanding once completed.
