Felder Woodworking Weekend

 

In this class we will learn fundamental woodworking processes on Felder machine tools as you make a small side table from just one board!

 

Demonstrations and hands-on assistance should make this a weekend that is full of learning and personalized attention to the extent that you wish.

 

Here are some of the hands on topical areas that we cover:

 

Rough and final milling processes

Safe and correct use of Felder machinery

Resawing and bookmatching a panel

Successful edge jointing and gluing

Options for making mortise and tenon joinery

Operating and setting up the jointer, planer, sliding table saw, mortiser, band saw and shaper

Making a small side table
