Class meets twice per week for four hours each meeting.
Open studio times are provided weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Carcass construction is emphasized. The student is expected to develop control over the material and skill in the use of hand tools in particular, as well as power tools. It will be important for students to recognize the importance of their training and the need to maintain current content even in a subject steeped in tradition. On completion of this course, students will be able to construct small and large case pieces, understand drawer systems and have an advanced understanding of the use of doors and door hardware.
