Want a roundup of Paul’s latest posts each week? We’ve got you covered.
I just finished up the photography and drawings and will post this soon. Filming will be in about a month, by then you will have read the how-to blog and got the wood and tools you need.
It’s glued. screwed and plugged. Very solid and immoveable.
They will get more intense this week. I ran out of space on my computer last week because of the 150,000 images I have on it!!!!
A week is passed in the course and it is amazing how much we have learned compared to the first three days in the introductory pre-course when we were cutting some joints for the first time. The joiners chest is a treasure trove of learning. It has many of the joints required for furniture making and many of the major operations such as carcase construction, surface clean up / planing, raising panels, fitting drawers, and thinking about which pieces of wood you want to use and where you want to put them in your project. Pine seems an ideal wood for learning since its softness reveals any clumsiness and the twisty grain cannot be ignored. Some of the pine was so fragrant I really didn’t care what I was making as long as I got to cut shavings from it. Several of us got dinner together last night and were discussing how much we were learning. Thanks for the great course, Paul!
