This course is geared toward students who are serious about the woodworking profession. Although some time is spent on structured projects, a large amount of time is allotted for projects of the student’s choosing and design. Construction techniques will focus on advancing the skills learned in Woodworking 1 to join and fasten materials together to build a useful and aesthetically pleasing project to enjoy for years to come. Another area that will be explored is the art of refinishing, whereby an existing piece of broken down furniture is restored and returned to a functional conversation piece. Students who are considering woodworking and/or refinishing as a self-rewarding trade or hobby definitely need to consider this course.
