Students new to woodworking as well as those with previous experience will learn and use basic construction skills to create a customizable pine Shaker peg rail with hanging shelves. Students will use drills, saws, and planes, and will be guided in designing a small hanging shelf to suit their storage needs.
At the end of the class, students will take home a completed project in the Shaker style that can be mounted on their walls at home for stylish and functional storage of coats, hats, spices, toys, bags, towels, and more. This class will show students that they can use limited tools to design and create wood projects for their home to use and enjoy every day.
Appropriate for beginner skill levels.
Open to students ages 15 and older.
All materials and tools will be provided. Students may bring pen and paper to take notes, and any preferred safety equipment (such as glasses or hearing protection) or small tools from home, if desired.
Students should wear closed-toed shoes, pull hair back, and dress comfortably in layers.
Class takes place at Arbutus Folk School, 610 4th Ave E, Olympia.
