L’apprenti.e 2 EN • Joinery and sheet goods
Building a side table
This course’s objective is to consolidate all the basic knowledge seen in the first machine tool class and to push further the notion of wood assembly. You will go through all the basic machine tools seen in L’apprenti.e 1 class in addition to learning how to make assemblies with the table saw and routers.
You will learn to use new machine tools to cut and assemble sheet goods. In order to put these notions to use, each participant will make their own side table in maple and birch plywood.
Practical course
- Presentations and demonstrations by the teacher
- Technical exercises and making of an object/piece of furniture by the participants
