STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:Experience timber framing and fine woodworking techniques and t
 ools to build a sturdy workbench. In this class\, students will build a be
 nch based in the early American style using mortise and tenon joinery out 
 of white pine timbers. From timber to table\, the benches hold a rustic qu
 ality with opportunities to add hand tool finishes on surfaces and edges. 
 The trestle table is an engineering marvel. Held together with wedges\, th
 e classic form is remarkably strong yet can be easily disassembled. The po
 rtable\, knock-down features of this workbench make it a versatile additio
 n to any workspace and easy to load to bring home. The dimensions of this 
 workbench are 37"H x 72"L x 32"W\, with some variations possible. Options 
 for finishing will be discussed\, ranging from natural oils to milk paint.
  For workbench enthusiasts\, we will discuss vises and work holding method
 s. This course offers a partner model: two students can build one project 
 for one tuition and materials fee. Students ages 16+ may register for this
  course independently. Youth ages 14+ are welcome to register with an adul
 t. Adult/youth pairs will complete one project and pay one materials fee. 
 A 25% tuition discount applies to the youth registrant when registering wi
 th a full-paying adult\; call to register. Required Tools All tools will b
 e provided. However\, if you have a favorite square\, drawknife or block p
 lane bring it along. If you don't own tools and plan to buy them\, it is p
 erhaps better to wait until after the class at North House in which we wil
 l discuss tools and the right tools to buy. When you return home with your
  bench\, you may want to use an orbital sander on the table top before oil
 ing. Personal protective equipment: safety glasses and hearing protection 
 are provided for students and required for certain tools in our workshops\
 , but you may wish to bring your own for fit and comfort.
