About This Workshop
During this two-day class Jeff and Steve will share their construction methods for building doors and drawers which Jeff’s family has done for the last five generations. Saturday will be the drawer day and Sunday will be the door day. Students will practice cutting and fitting dovetailed drawer sides into a drawer front. Jeff and Steve will cover veneering a drawer front on both flat and curved surfaces as well as how to install locks. Styles will include discussion on periods from Chippendale to Federal with emphasis on regional style variations. On Sunday, students will cut and fit mortise and tenons on door rails and stiles. Both panel and glass doors will be discussed. Students will cope the interior section of a beaded door. Raised and flat veneered panels will also be covered along with how to hinge and hang a door.
