About This Workshop
In this workshop each student will build their own desk chair. Although each participant will be provided with a shop drawing of the chair, Brian will review the process of creating one’s own isometric projection drawing. Construction will be accomplished through a combination of both hand and power tools. Participants will learn the process of shaping wood to soft edges and hard lines as a way of giving continuity throughout multiple parts of the chair. Topics covered will include design considerations with curves, practical ways to achieve precise layout and joinery in curvilinear workpieces, tools and techniques for carving and shaping wood, as well as glue-up tips and tricks.
