In this four-session class, you will learn both machine and hand tool methods for the basics of chair making, while building a classic post and rung stool. Parts will be roughed out using the table saw and bandsaw and then you’ll learn to further shape and refine your parts with a shave horse, drawknife, spokeshave, and hand planes. We’ll cover round mortise and tenon joinery for assembling our parts into a four sided stool. Finally, you will learn about different weaving patterns in traditional shaker tape to weave a pattern for your seat.  This class is suitable for beginners and returning students alike.
