Tables, chairs and other forms of furniture rely heavily on mortise-and-tenon joinery, which is at the heart of this class with George Vondriska. From scaling the joinery to suit your project to producing a perfectly fitting joint, you\u2019ll learn the mortise and tenon joint inside and out, along with other great tips for making rock-solid furniture.<\/p>\n
Additionally, furniture projects often require solid wood tops, made using edge-to-edge glue-ups. Learn the tricks behind jointing perfect edges, getting great color and grain matches in your top, and allowing solid wood tops to expand and contract seasonally.<\/p>\n
In this class you\u2019ll learn about:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Project design
\n\u2022 Edge-to-edge glue ups for strength and beauty
\n\u2022 Mortise and tenon joinery
\n\u2022 Tapering legs
\n\u2022 Adding decorative accents to furniture projects<\/p>\n
George is a firm believer in the adage that form should follow function, and he\u2019ll show you how to add simple details to furniture that take it from boring to beautiful. For example, a simple router bit makes a significant difference in the look of the table rails. Undercutting the edge of the top gives it a lighter look. A slight taper on the legs reduces their bulk. Fundamentals of Furniture Making provides video instruction that makes each of these details easy to do.<\/p>\n
In addition to step-to-step video instruction, this class provides you with downloadable resources and helpful information, including a printable woodworking plan for the table you\u2019ll build in your own shop while following along with George\u2019s techniques, and source references for any specialized tools used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
