Laconia Adult Education

This class is intended to introduce woodworkers who have successfully completed the basic woodworking program, or who have prior woodworking experience, to the tools and techniques utilized in making furniture beyond the basic skills learned in the beginner class. Students will be reacquainted with tools and practices developed in the beginner class, and will be exposed to tools, techniques, and skills which will allow them to take on more complex projects. This is not an entry level class.

All students will build a Shaker style end table according to plans to be provided. Advanced joinery will be demonstrated and practiced, allowing students to develop skills needed for more complex carpentry and furniture making.

With guidance and instruction students will select and acquire the materials necessary to construct the table. Pre-cut packages may be available for purchase by students from Lakes Region Hardwood, 284 Laconia Rd, Belmont, NH 03220. (603) 527-8279.  The price per package will range between $70.00 and $90.00 depending on material availability.

Plans and Material Lists will be provided. 

Lab Fee: $25 This fee covers the cost of sharpening and replacing specialized tools, bits and blades used in the completion of the projects. This fee is payable to the instructor on the first day of class.
