Signups are open for our next round of classes!
In our Building Your Workbench course, you'll construct a sturdy workbench that will be a workhorse for your shop. The class is three full, consecutive weekends starting January 17th.
Mark Mooney will return to teach his Arts-and-Crafts Style Picture Frame class starting February 19th.
And we'll also be running our Fundamentals I, Fundamentals II, and Basic Veneering classes! All of those courses will be starting the second week of February.
