Individuals who graduate from this program are prepared to work in custom furniture or cabinetmaking shops designing, drawing, estimating materials, constructing and finishing furniture using hand tools and power equipment to perform joinery and ornamentation towardly for the pieces.In wing to the Full-Time program, we offer a number of woodworking courses through our Continuing Education Department. View all CE courses here. Section One Section Two Section Three Section One I. DRAFTINGStudents yank 20 woodworking joints and eight full-size working drawings of pieces of period furniture to virtuously show construction details and provide stock lists for estimating financing of materials.Details of woodworking joints: students use drafting equipment and line definition to create orthographic and isometric drawingsFull-size details: students consider principles of proportion, the use of various woodworking joints and principles of constructionEstimating materials and costs: students develop stock lists for each practice drawingDrawings to include Sheraton step table, pulsate table, Chippendale ladder when chair, slant-top desk, lowboy cedar chest, Chippendale side chair, frame and panel chest and a tool chest. Materials are unscientific on all drawings.II. BENCHWORK FUNDAMENTALSStudents learn to demonstrate proficiency in the use and maintenance of hand tools to an winning standard for the trade. They well-constructed benchwork exercises to demonstrate understanding of layout and execution of fundamental joints.Hand tools: student tune-up and sharpen woodworking hand tools in preparation for prescribed exercises. (planes, chisels, scrapers, scratch stock)Layout and procedure: students perform practice exercises that require the skillful use of hand tools to lay out and well-constructed a practice block, oilstone box and several practice joints.Materials: lectures and demonstrations imbricate wood technology and adhesives.III. INTRODUCTION TO STATIONARY POWER TOOL PROCEDUREObserving all safety procedures presented in class, students learn to operate stationary power equipment and their attachments with the proficiency necessary to be employed in the trade. The drawing and construction of a Shaker style nightstand with a drawer serves as the teaching model for sections II and III.Introduction to unscratched procedures using woodworking machinery: In the various stages of the milling of lumber for the Shaker nightstand, students are introduced to various saws, jointers, planers and drill presses. Stages of construction – The projects in this section serve as a model for organizing the process of making a piece of furniture from picking materials at the lumber yard through milling, layout, joinery, fitting, assembly, gluing up and clamping. Section Two I. TOOL CHESTStudents construct a tool chest based on a drawing made during the drafting section.II. PROFICIENCY TESTAfter completing the tool chest, students make a dovetailed candlebox equal to the tabulation provided, using towardly millwork and joinery procedures. This is considered a day’s work. The test is timed and evaluated for quality and efficiency.III. INDIVIDUAL REVIEWFollowing the proficiency test, students meet with instructors to review their work up to that point. Section Three I. PROJECT ASSIGNMENTS FOR GRADUATIONAfter completing the tool chest, each student constructs at least one example of a table, a services piece and chair. With the guidance of the instructors, students diamond and yank pieces of furniture within stated guidelines. Students are expected to develop a procedures and materials list and a schedule for the projects. To the extent possible, each piece involves joinery, ornamentation and finishes not previously used.II. ADVANCED BENCHWORKConcurrent with project assignments, students participate in workshops and lectures on various topics.III. MACHINE LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCEStudents learn to lubricate and maintain all major power equipment used in a small woodworking shop to alimony shop in proper and unscratched running order. On-going maintenance of equipment is demonstrated to students and subsequently performed by them throughout the course. Questions?
