I am opening a woodworking center in Sunnyvale called The Sawdust Shop. The center will consist of a membership-based woodshop, a woodworking retail store, and classes in woodworking.

The store will carry a complete line of woodworking tools and supplies. Opening is scheduled for April/May.

Classes (4/2005) with Arnie Champagne

4/16-17 Joinery. The opportunity of a lifetime to make as many joints as you can use, using 4 different precision mortising and tenoning and doweling machines. Drawing for each joint is a must prior to the class. We will provide more information in the near future. Single, double, triple morticing and tenons at various angles will be covered. I must see your drawings to determine how much drawing is necessary to teach prior to actually doing the joints.
5/7-8 Krenov-style Wooden Plane Making. Focus on tool sharpening and on using the hand plane you make. We will also cover low angle block planes as well as metal planes you use and bring to class.
5/10-11 and 5/14-15 Tools and Techniques. Finish the saw horses and begin a dovetail box as well as do drawings for a stool and coffee table. NOTE: All classes use full scale drawings. Lots of homework.
5/28-29 Table. Coffee table, End Table or any other small table you like. Must be at intermediate level. I must see full size prints first. Include the 3 views. You might have to schedule a one on one drawing work-up so you can purchase the wood and then mill it up in advance of the class. This means square and flat for all parts and no knots. Veneering OK.
6/4-5 Krenov-style Wooden Plane Making (See 5/7-8)
6/11-12 Double Bevel Marquetry. Veneering, pressing and band saw set up and saw blade sharpening to cut your own veneers is also covered and much more.

All classes are 8 am to 6 pm.
