Students in this class will learn how to cut pen blanks, drill and mount the blanks on the lathe, turn the pen barrels and apply the finish. The final step will be assembling the pen.

Knifemaking Class

Wednesday, July 16, 6 PM - 9 PM

In this class, expert knifemaker, Brad Hunt, will guide you, step by step, through the process of making a knife from a kit and scales that you’ll purchase at the store prior to the class (students receive 10% off for class materials!). You’ll leave the class with a knife you’ve made yourself, and the knowledge to make more in the future; once you’ve made a knife, you’ll surely want to make more! We have a wide range of knife kits and scales at the store; to help you choose, check out Brad’s website, where he explains the process and difficulty of various types of kits: www.bradfordhuntdesign.com. Brad will also have a selection of his own unique and stunning knife scales available for purchase at the class.

Intro To Pyrography & Wood Dyeing

Friday, July 18, 5 PM - 8 PM

Learn to create decorative designs with a wood-burning tool in this beginner-friendly class. Christian Casas will lead you through the steps from strategy to execution of your first piece. Learn how to prepare a wooden surface, transfer a design, and use a wood-burning tool to create lines and color on a wooden object. In this class, I will teach you how to use an essential pyrography tool to turn a simple fern design into a beautiful piece of wood-burned art. You will learn about the required tools and materials and how to use everything safely. We’ll go through some types of surfaces you can burn on, different burners and nibs, how to transfer the design onto the wood, burning techniques, and what finishes to use to seal and protect your art. This class is suitable for beginners; no prior experience is necessary. All materials and machines are PROVIDED for this class. If you decide to purchase any equipment used in the class (new) there would be a 10% discount. Pyrography is a beautiful craft suitable for all skill levels. You can use it to create many different items for yourself or gifts for others: jewelry, photo frames, furniture, wall decor, candle holders, wedding decor, memorial pieces… The list goes on! It also doesn’t have to be about the finished work, as the nature of burning is a great mindfulness practice - if you get a beautiful piece of art at the end, then that’s a bonus!

Building An Electric Guitar

Part 1: Friday, August 22, 9 AM - 5 PM

Part 2: Saturday, August 23, 9 AM - 5 PM

Part 3: Sunday, August 24, 9 AM - 5 PM

This is a great opportunity to make a Tele-Type Guitar for yourself or give the class as a gift for someone that loves to play guitars! This class is designed to accommodate the beginner/intermediate woodworker in building their own electric guitar learning basic woodworking techniques in the process. The process will be broken down in bite sized tasks that enable the student to get a clear understanding of the various steps in making an electric guitar. This is not a kit guitar! You are building it from scratch! You will learn how to make a body, hand carve a neck, install a truss rod and install the fret board after you install frets and slot a nut. Finally, you will learn how to wire it up (CTS Pots and Switchcraft Output Jack) and to properly setup a guitar to play perfectly for you. Each guitar will be completed before leaving the class, however, painting/finishing the guitar will be left to the student to complete after the class at home. Finishing techniques will be discussed to provide guidance and Ed will be available to answer questions after the class. Ed is a professional guitar maker, with vast experience making both acoustic and electric guitars. Sign up and make your own guitar!
