The ‘Shaker Nightstand’ course represents the perfect course for the beginner. It also happens to be the first compulsory project undertaken by all students at the prestigious North Bennet Street School in Boston, USA – a school dedicated to traditional skills. This course runs for 22 consecutive weeks.
Learn to master some of the fundamentals of fine woodworking. In this course, you will learn about basic carcass construction techniques. ‘Carcass construction’ represents any piece of furniture that includes doors or drawers. Some examples of techniques learned in this class are: ‘mortise and tenon’ joinery, hand-cut dovetails, fitting an 18th-century styled drawer by hand, hand planing techniques, turning a small timber drawer knob, and how to taper legs.
If time persists, you will also learn the basics of French polishing, hand-rubbed oil finishing, and traditional ‘milk paint’ finish using a product imported from the United States of America. Your understanding of the finer points of furniture making will be greatly enhanced after completing this class. A timeless piece of furniture that will inspire you and others.
This class series runs over 22 consecutive sessions, at the same time every week.
The Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking (The Guild) was founded by Alastair Boell in 2007. After graduating from the world-renowned North Bennet Street School, Boston, USA, Alastair felt that there was a great need in Australia for an educational facility that focuses on traditional skills.
The Guild is conveniently located in Blackburn and provides three different course formats:
