The shop is buzzing these days. I have a couple of open class spots, one in the Temple chair class in February and one in the March Comb Back class, contact me if you are interested!
We just finished the first class of 2022 and while teaching through a kn95 isn’t fun, the class was! Here are a few shots of student work.
I must admit, I take a great deal of pride in the quality of my students chairs, anyone who has taken a class knows this. Not that I want perfection (doesn’t exist) but I do want the work to show the understanding and skill that has been gained. This last class was a great example of this, everyone worked hard and the chairs looked smashing.
I have been helping Aspen Golann with her Chairmaker’s Toolbox project. I got a bunch of tools donated by Tom Valeriano and I’m going to tune them up so Aspen can distribute them via her project. I could spend my whole life bringing old tools back to life. Georgia feels the same
This one is a challenge, rusty as hell, so I’m adjusting the bevel to get away from the pitted surface steel. I think I’ll shoot a video of the process and load it on instagram and youtube. Check those channels out.
Looking forward to building a new rocker slot jig (plans soon!) and reshooting my milkpaint video series, I was very new know both video production and online instruction, so I want to revisit it!
