Make an Arts & Crafts Style Display Case with Bob Van Dyke

This new Woodworking III class is going to be a lot of fun (and a lot of work)!  Arts & Crafts Style furniture has been immensely popular. It is attractive, relatively straightforward to build and fits well in just about any house. The display cabinet we will be building was featured on the cover of Fine Woodworking Magazine Issue # 211. The cabinet, which could also be used as a sideboard, was designed by Michael Pekovich, FWW Magazine’s Art Director, and is approximately 48” wide, 38” high and 13” deep. It features leaded glass doors, through tenons and three dovetailed drawers. The preferred species for this would be quartersawn white oak, but it could also be done in in cherry or walnut if you prefer. As with any new project class the anticipated duration of the class is unsure and it may run a little longer than scheduled. There will be homework required which will consist of surfacing and dryfitting joints. If you do not have facility at home then some time in the class shop can be arranged with the director. If you are unable to commit to this homework or will be missing more than a couple of the  classes then this is not the class for you. Sign up soon as I expect this class to fill quickly. Tuition $595.00 plus materials

Section 101910A: Tuesday evenings, October 19— January 25, 2011, 6:00pm - 9:30pm

This class has received such a strong response that I am creating a second section of the class which will meet on

Wednesday nights starting October 27 - January 19, 6:00pm - 9:30pm.

Creating two sections will make for smaller classes which will be more enjoyable and make it easier to complete the project in the allotted time. You can get signed up by calling 860.647.0303

Hope you can make it
