WOODWORKING 2: BUILD A FLOATING TOP BENCH
(Class limited to 15 students)

No glue, no screws – no problem. Advance your woodworking skills as you learn drawbore mortise and tenon joinery. This class will continue emphasis on safety as you expand your knowledge of power tools and joinery technique.

Material fees (TBD) will be payable to the instructor to cover the cost of wood and upholstery supplies.

You will make an upholstered seat under the guidance of the upholstery faculty.*

Mortise and tenon joinery is a hallmark of sturdy and strong furniture. This project pushes the mortise and tenon joinery further with a drawbore technique to keep joints solid and sound for years to come. Joinery methods will include bridal joints and through tenons. You will learn to use the bandsaw for curved pieces and template routing for making identical copies. We will partner with the upholstery class faculty to build your own cushioned seat that will float on top of the bench base we make.
