Brooklyn, NY

Simple Staked Joinery

Intermediate

This single-session, 4hr class introduces the participants to the concept and practice of round mortise and tenon joinery. In this hands-on class, you will learn how to use hand-braces, augur bits, tapered reamers and tenoning tools to add legs to a simple three- or four-legged stool. Classes will meet in-person in Brooklyn.

This course does require knowledge and experience with basic hand-tool woodworking fundamentals, similar to those learned in the "Build Your Toolbox" course. If you are unsure you meet the requirements, please reach out to classes@makegoodwood.com for guidance before registering.

Some task-specialized tools will be available, but participants will be expected to bring their own basic tools, including a handplane, saws, mallet, and tools for layout and marking.

Cost includes materials used during class.

Nine years ago, I put this lifelong fascination into action and became a traditional woodworker. In our apartment, I applied what I had studied in the past, practicing the old methods, without big machines and, of course, without the noise and dust. With a couple saws, a few handplanes, and some chisels, I found I was able to make nearly anything—small furniture, boxes, home accessories, wooden jewelry, and even our dining room suite—simply and beautifully. Now, I'd like to help new people get started in the craft and provide opportunities for woodworkers at all skill levels to expand their skills and deepen their experience.
