2023 spring class 1

Small compact routers offer lightweight and plenty of power for a lot of woodworking tasks. They also are great in a router designed for them. This design from ShopNotes magazine is Phil Huber's favorite. Over a three-part class, you have the chance to make your own. We'll cover case construction, cutting joinery, making drop-down tables, and a great fence. In order to complete the table in a timely manner, some out of class homework may be necessary. This class is a good way to upgrade your shop and learn skills along the way. Complete plans, a materials list, and suggested tools will be emailed to students after registering.

This class meets for 3 weeks.
