About

* This class has pre-requisites. Please see below.

Build a small, Shaker-style table suitable as a lamp stand or night stand as you learn to take a project through all of the steps from initial idea to finished project.

This class is designed for students who know the basics of using tools but  want to develop those skills more under the guidance of an experienced instructor. This class includes:

  • developing a design, with limited options for varying the basic table plan so your table is the height and size you want.
  • creating a cut list.
  • fabricating parts.
  • assembling and gluing.

Details:

  • Open to students 14+ years old who have taken Beginning Woodworking: Power Tools, or who have the instructor's permission, which you can arrange using this form. Some experience with hand tools would be a bonus.
  • You also need to have completed Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 1,  Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 2 and our free one-hour Orientation to the Woodshop. If you are missing any of these classes, please register for them before you sign up for this class.
  • Please click here for BARN's current COVID-19 health & safety protocols. 
  • You must wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry. We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.

  • BARN is committed to accessibility. Tuition Assistance is available - click here to fill out the simple application before registering for a class. For those who might need physical assistance, please learn about BARN's Companion Program here.

  • Please note that there will be no class on Friday, Oct. 14.
Instructor: Ted Newman. Ted studied woodworking and has assisted in classes at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine. He is active in BARN's woodworker group and volunteers as a safety monitor.
