Class Description

Description

In this class, you and a friend will create one beautiful table together. At least one participant must be 18 years or older.

Woodworking has traditionally been a hobby that required a personal connection with someone who possesses real expertise in workshop techniques and woodworking practices.

Are you interested in woodworking but unable to casually try it because you lack tools and workshop space, without wanting to commit to a full woodworking apprenticeship program? We are here to be your woodworking resource. This workshop will teach you the essential skills needed to design and build the furniture pieces of your dreams.

You will begin this workshop with several pieces of oak wood. You will then cut and shape the oak into each individual component of your table using a mitre saw, a router table, a table saw, and a belt sander.

Never used any of those tools? Don't worry about it. Each workshop includes a knowledgeable guide who is there to support and assist you every step of the way. After completing your tool work, you will ensure that everything fits together with precision before assembling your completed project.

  • What You'll Be Making: A small oak side table, approximately 15 inches tall with a 9 inch square top
  • Skill Level: Beginner; this course is designed for beginners with little or no prior woodworking experience but includes some advanced aspects of woodworking so people of all skill levels can enjoy it
  • Duration: 4 hours, give or take 30 minutes

  • Buddy Up: Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

    It was awesome to start with three blocks of raw wood and have the hands on woodworking experience to shape that wood into a real table. Robbie was great—patient, helpful, and full of great woodworking insight!

  • Buddy Up: Craft a Side Table (Introduction to Woodworking and Furniture Making)

    The instructor was very knowledgeable and gave us step by step instructions. She also modeled how to handle the wood pieces and power tools. The space had a very chill and industrial vibe with cool decor. There was music playing and they even provided coffee and water. Plenty of opportunities for photos as well. We had a great time building our little Oak side table. I will be booking more classes going forward and I highly recommend Craftsman for your wood working classes!
