The major project of the Summer 08 advanced-level
owrkshop will be this magnificant 18th century Louis XV armoire
in pine with traditional milk paint finish.
|
Students must have advanced-level skills in fine
woodworking with their own workshops (ie. table saw, drill press,
band saw, jointer/planer if working with rough-milled stock, carving
chisels, assortment of clamps and router table).
|
|

|
|
During this summer workshop, students will be taken
through every technical step of this challenging project. This will
include post and rail construction of the case, 5 board gables,
all aspects of wood carving, raised panel doors with mouldings and
sticking (using the router table), adjustable shelving, milk painting
and antiquing, and fitting of traditional hardware.
|
Planning and technical guidance will be covered in each session
of the workshop. Students will then execute each stage of building
in their own workshops. Instructors will be available to provide
trouble-shooting tips and technical advice whenever required.
