Hello everyone,
I recently signed up for a voc. school course called "woodworking for profit." Figured it would be a classroom sort of situation, but it turns out that I've essentially bought 30 hours of shop time for $50 (a hell of a deal, if you ask me!) I've got a couple of projects on the burner right now, but they are all geared towards my personal tools, and I'm planning on just continuing them at home. So, as a happy accident, I need to figure out what I'm going to do with a fully equipped shop and an instructor (with all his fingers, no less).... The overall goal is for me to eventually become adept at general furniture making, focusing mainly on tables and chairs of various sorts. I'd like to make full use of the opportunity, so does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of building the bent-arm morris chair in the latest edition of Woodsmith, but the project needs to to fit into ten 3-hour shop sessions, and I'm wondering if anyone has made one of these, and if so, is thirty hours long enough for an intermediate woodworker to do this? Of course, if there is a challenging piece that will provide a better learning experience, I'm more than open to suggestions- Steam-bending or extensive dovetail cutting is out, but pretty much everything else is fair game. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! |
