Build a Post and Rung Stool with hand tools!
 
If you’re new to the world of chair making, this 4 day class is made for you.
 
First, you’ll learn to sharpen, maintain, and use the two most essential tools in chair making — the drawknife and spokeshave. Then you’ll get plenty of practice as you learn to shape each part of this beautiful post and rung stool, make strong joinery with hide glue, and weave a flat reed seat in a herringbone pattern.
 
Personalized and Proven Instruction
​
Class size is limited to four students.
 
Every process is broken down into small, manageable steps so that you can concentrate on mastering one task at a time before moving onto the next.
 
In addition to showing you how, I always explain why, so that you will understand the underlying concepts and how each step fits into the big picture.

​
  • Apply the 6 Components of Strong Joinery
